Default Firehawk Front bumper
Where or who do I need to talk to for a Firehawk front bumper cover 98-02. I have a new Trans Am cover but my hood seats on top of the bumper around the ram air.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

The Firehawk bumper is a normal T/A bumper cover, its just cut to fit the Firehawk hood iirc.

You'll have to plan for capping or smoothing out the cut off edge. SLP glued down a triangular cap that has the firehawk emblem on it. They are obsolete but can still be found from time to time in sale ads. I would imagine something could be fabricated or the material could be sculpted with appropriate filler to make a clean edge.

Just take it to a professional bodyshop if you are afraid to mess with it.
