The bumpers are the same for both a TA and a WS6... nothing changes..........

here's mine with my old FMIC 24X12X3"




Now with my new one for my new setup 24 X19X4.5"

Dont mean to jack a thread but I am selling a bumper cover
Selling the front bumper do to the lines on the car do not flow well on my formula. Would look great on a turbo Trans am. Looking for $500 plus shipping. This bumper is still in the box took out only to see what it look like.

Here is what it would look like on a TA

My formula doesnt have side skirts so it didnt look right but i like it on a TA.
BBoy feral I like what you did with that license plate area. Did you do the old home depot mod?

Aside from the plate cut-out mod done to the bumper, I bought an extra plate cover for the purpose of being made into that little grill. I have the original plate cover with the bird that I can pop on in one minute and Voila... What FMIC? Stock LS1 here...

I didn't want to give up my driving lights and we need a front plate up here so I went another route.

I was able to replace my bumper and foam insert but leave a clear path to the intercooler. The advantage was the ability to mount the FMIC further forward.

How big is that intercooler? I thought having a FMIC = no fog lights? also how much boost are you running and do you have any pics during the install?

That's awesome!!!

It seems it would only look good on a Formula, though.

Search for a thread called PTS install. It's pretty recent and has a bunch of pics... Or check out www.Proturbosystems.net or www.Revxtreme.com

My intercooler is the right width so that it does not get in the way of the foglights. It's adequate for the boost I'm running... 7# spring on the wastegate, boosting up to ~8/8.5 psi. You don't have to give anything up. There's a user here who has a huge intercooler and has the foglights right in front of the FMIC. My car's my baby, not race car... I just couldn't bear the thought of seeing holes where the foglights used to be!

Warbird, I'll say it again: That's freakin' nice!!!

sagres I am very interested in that bumper cover, I talked to christian (KLRWS6) at Firbird Evolution. PM me if you like, The price from his is 500 plus shipping so if we can work something out I will BUY.

Also, can you send me some additional pics of the Bumper or do you have any on the car with the headlights DOWN, i am trying to see more pics of this. maybe some close ups shots. How do you like the Bumper cover as far as quality, I plan on making a Grills for the bumper (I think it will look better that way)
Thanks BEN

Quality is pretty good. One thing that i include also is new TA parking lights with it and also Mine is ready to ship as you probrably going to have to wait for Christian to have it made and shipped. I never painted it or anything. Just mounted and didnt like how the lines flowed on my formula. You really have to put side skirts on the car for it to look good. The only pic I have is the one above and dont much want to pull out and remount on the car since it is all together and being painted. I can pullout of the box and take a picture of it if interested.

I have a Red T/A and I have the stock ground effects so it will look pretty good IMHO. IF you can Possible pull it out of the box ans just snap some shots of just the bumper cover that would be GREAT.

Heres the site for the bumper cover
http://www.firebirdevolution.net/BODYKIT.html
I talked to christian 2 weeks ago, he told me that the free shipping was not going on at the time, but he would pay for half the shipping. And would take about a week and half to get me the bumper cover. Price from him was $474 and $30 shipping on my part and #30 on his part.

I know you want to get rid of this bumper, and I don't really need it right now but if your selling one it I will give you $450 Shipped to me, that way we both win. I live in Arkansas and you live in Alabama, so shipping couldn't be that bad.
