Default Trans am bumper.. Interchangeable?

So I have a 94 trans am with a cracked front bumper, I know I can fix it, but I was curious. I'm not a huge fan of the nose as it is and wanted to know if there's a front bumper from a newer body style TA or firebird that'd interchange?

u could do a front end swap, think all you would need is the bumper, head lights and headlight mounts or whatever else you need, i also have a 94 and would mind getting a newer front style lol for the right price

Would I need to swap headlights? Being that they're in the hood?
And as far as price, i was thinking I'd try the local "pick n pull" junkyard
I'm sure that would probably be the most reasonable

you want to go from a 94 to a 98-02 front end? you need headlight assemblies, fenders, bumper cover, all the lights on the bumper and a hood. i may be missing a few other things but ive got the major stuff covered

Sounds pricy haha, maybe I'll just patch up the one I've got
I'm already in the process of buying paint and supplies to shoot the whole car and figured it would probably be a good Idea to just grab a newer bumper, but an entire front end swap sounds a little extensive
