I don't think it flows well with the other body lines of a trans am... but if you like it, thats what should matter to you only.

Have you looked closely to that model? It was designed to resemble the second gen bird in a more modern style!

Look at the above, it complents the whole bumper, it does look nice in that concept since it has square edges tha makes the opennings blend and at the same time contour with it.

Aah, that is the Heritage Trans Am. I think I am it's #1 fan! If you don't believe me, see my car. I plan to put an evolution bumper on mine, filling in the ports with flat black honeycomb.
