Default CME exh on a TA?

I've got a couple TAs and I have an extra TA rear bumper, I'd need a Camaro bumper and CME exh and valance. One of the things I LOVE and miss from my SS was the rear shot. I've seen how these plastic bumpers can be fixed so why not try a mix.

Just an idea, something I've thought of for a while.

I know the top and the lower GFX on the side would need to be placed on the Camaro bumper.

Actually I think the center Exh openings would look similar to the TA tail lights. I know a Camaro bumper is a dime a dozen.

Photo shop guys take a shot...this may have been done or mentioned before.

It's been mentioned and mocked up. Search old 6litereater threads. The final verdict was that it wouldn't work or look good.

I figured Mark took a shot at it at some point, but DAMN I love that A$$! I can see that on the TA. Anyone got a link to that thread? I know there are so many threads by him. I just wish I had a couple car to do some body mods on. Can't touch the 30th or my 01 WS6 vert 6spd. I could do the nothing special 00 TA but my pop drives it and is about 300 miles away. That is my future 1/4mile car or my donor for my 68. Not sure yet.

Just curious, are the rear bumpers between the camaro and trans am interchangeable? So far I've gathered that the main issue is the license plate placement on trans ams, but a switch would remedy that, right?

Edit: Whoops, just noticed that it wouldn't match the curvature of the T/A's tail lamps. More broken dreams.

The firebirds have bigger taillights that take up the "berger" panel that says "CAMARO" in back

I don't think the CME looks would look good at all on a Firebird. It looks perfect on a Camaro because it matches the body lines. On a Firebird it would big time go against the body lines.
