There is zero sarcasm in this thread, look closer, that is not a base model bumper cover.


I kind of like it, its subtle enough that I almost overlooked it as a firebird cover as well, but its still different.

I say get it! Someone needs to save this car, its a cool start, but a hell of a frankenstein!


Someone mentioned the hood was fake or something, Id be willing to bet that that is an OEM hood,

the grafting of the TA bumper and firebird bumper is pretty good...but for 6700...that seams a bit steep for the amount of work needed.

I would pass on that price, i would rather buy a clean *** roller thats perfect and put a motor/trans in it then buy that for close to 7gs,for that price you can find a much better starting point,anything that needs paint and everything else is not worth it imo, if it needs paint and is pretty built then thats another story, i like to see any f body saved though

I see your point but I stand bye what I said about it being a firebird front bumper cover but yea I didnt pay any attention to the fact the t/a fog lights are molded in. Ok I say to you look closer at the hood it has a metal mesh in the nose and no lines dead give away to be aftermarket.

P.S punisher that is one sweet car loved the build thread.
