Default New Trans Am Bumper!

After seeing this Corvette on here a few days ago got me thinking about a new TA bumper.

Let's get your thoughts on this...and its feasibility. Any thoughts on where to put the license plate.

If anyone can do this in PS what would be great. Clearly, Paint is no good.

I do not like it at all personally. Sadly.... I am sure someone would buy it.

Definately needs a photoshopped version, but it doesnt look like it would look that good though.

FUCKYEAH Brian!

I would have kept the little fins though. Still... Photoshop > Paint...that's for sure.

I'd definitely rock out that bumper. Only problem is the license plate...

I would be ALL OVER IT if there was a version that could be made without the exhaust cut out (leave it for my plate) and I'll gladly leave my dumps.

VFN has a rear end that's similar to that, except the cutout is meant for wheelie bars. Just to give ya some ideas.

that's exactly what i was thinking... it would look a little better if the tips took up more area like maybe the length of the center panel... it would take a little getting used to but i don't think it would be too bad... can't say that i would buy it personally though lol... plus you would have to buy some new exhaust parts and get it painted blah blah blah... i think the cost would outweigh everything else

Would you guys like me to try and put 4 tips in the middle, equal to the size of the filler panel?

And your welcome Adam

Try the 4 in the middle...just for fun.

It's not such a big deal for me, since I already want to upgrade to a TA Bumper from the Formula one.

The big issue is still the plate though
