Looks like one the TA guys would like. I think they were trying to get one built with similar features*

That bumper is perfect for a splitter since the bottom of the bumper is flat unlike the factory t/a bumper which is curved.

Too bad they didn't stick around long enough.

They had a spoiler that I really liked too

but that e-1 bumper was out in the mid 2000's I think. Seem to remember raleigh ta or something to that effect having one.

I dont think the original manufacturer made very many of them. course everyone also called it RICE when it first showed up too

^similar to another car that was a one off a few years before, but it was in performance pontiac along with 4 other specialty trans ams and it had a different bumper as well the car was silver. About this time last year I was close to pulling the trigger on one from ebay, but it was gonna cost me about $600 after getting shipped plus getting it repainted and I couldnt swing it for that I could probably make a one off myself.

Yeah I wasnt a fan of the bumper as much, but if you were running forced induction with intercoolers you couldnt ask for a better bumper option


ah found it it was the MMS firebird (421ci motor or something to that affect)
