hi I'm a new member and a trans am owner.1995 .i have a 1995 T/A I'm trying to get some info on a front end conversion from my 95 stock f end to the meaner look of the 2000 or so with the ram air hood etc. can u bolt on the newer nose or does it need fabrication ? what years should i look for ? for a donor car any info would b appreciated

 

I believe you will also need to swap the front fenders from a 1998 -2002 car to make the update. It should just bolt on.

 

I did it on my 93 Formula, it's not terribly hard.

Off the top of my head you'll need:
- 98-02 Firebird Fenders
- 98-02 Firebird front fender brackets
- 98-02 Firebird or Trans Am front bumper cover
- 98-02 Firebird front bumper support
- 98-02 Firebird or Trans Am front impact bar and absorber pad (different based on if going for T/A or Firebird front end)
- 98-02 Firebird headlight assemblies (left and right) with all associated brackets.
- 98-02 Firebird Turn Signal housings and fog lights (Trans Am ones are different, so get those if converting to T/A front bumper).
- 98-02 Hood

There might be some more odds and ends that I'm not thinking about, but that's a good start. Honestly it's easiest if you have a parts car to pull from. If you have a local pick-n-pull and can snag an entire front end off of one car, you could get everything you need in one shot and see how they all go together. I had a parts car on hand that I was able to pull from, so it made my conversion a million times easier than it would have been otherwise. Best of luck!
