Nope, the two bumpers are not molded the same way. It would take a lot of body work to get it to work and it just wouldn't look right.

b.t.w. CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TYPING IN CALL CAPS????? It makes it look like you're shouting.

I think that he's saying that he prefers the camaros rear and the firebirds front, and that he wants the camaro rear look without getting rid of the bird?

By saying "I don't want to get rid of the hood" means that he loves the front end of his car, namely the hood, but likes the Camaro rear more and wants that rear on his Firebird, so he wants the best of both worlds.

I think that if you don't like the TA rear, sell the car and buy a Camaro.

Come to your senses! You start changing body panels, front or rear valances, etc ... Your going to wind up with a bastardized car that nobody will ever buy when you come time to trade or sell.

What scares me is; I really think your serious about this.

You guys are too pre-occupied with the sale/trade-in value of your cars. I dont intend to ever sell my car (unless its a wreck or other extreme condition). I dont want to end up being one of those people who twenty years later whishes that they didnt sell their car.

do what ya want, who cares about resale value
if it comes down to it, and noone wants to buy it, just set it on fire and drive it off a cliff and claim it on your insurance
