What front bumper is this!?!?!? Not new to the f-body world... But apparently I've never paid enough attention to the fronts of the birds as the last 15 f-bodys i've had have been camaros. Looking to buy this car and the fellow just sent me more pictures, and this is what i got. Looks like a mix between a regular firebird/formula and a trans am bumper??

Interesting...
Not sure how I feel about it. Lots of lights... not sure what one would need with 2 sets of fog lights. The furthest one looks like it's just hanging there though.
Can you post more pics? Especially if you wind up getting it.

Looks like a bit of an odd bulge along the bottom ends of the bumper.. Guess someone just molded corners with fogs from a Formula/Firebird bumper on to a T/A bumper? Seems like it would be easy enough to cut out that section of a bumper and mold the other in... But 'why' is the question 
May just be the low quality pic, but it appears that you can see the spot where they attempted to mold the new section in... Looks like a bulge at the bottom section and a raised area at the top?

Yes...not sure either. The more I look at the picture "not cared for well" comes to mind. Its a few hours away...so unless he hits me with a cheaper price, I may not get any more pictures. But I'll see if I can get him to send me some.

I'd assume the opposite, a person who has fabrication skills and cared enough to try that out is probably into his cars, and probably takes good care of them. Though I personally don't care for the end result... it still shows some effort has been put into the car.

ask for better pics of the hood. looks like an aftermarket, does't seem to have the nostrils. And it looks a little messed up on the edges where it meets the passenger side headlight.
what exactly is he selling the car as? a v6? base model T/A, formula?

1998-2002 Firebird base coupe and Formula had these bumpers

Both had that opening for the license plate cover, but the noticeable difference is the setup of the fog lights and turn signal areas as you can see. I hope that helps.
