Default Bumper bastardization

Thoughts?

I don't think I'll be doing anything more extreme than a bumper repaint and that's in a year or two.

I had the same idea, just with only the nostril delete. I wonder what it'd look like with the nostril delete, fixed headlights, and a wide sunoco-style cowl?

I kinda like the nostril delete, can't see it very well in the last picture, but I think it looks good with a flat hood. Might look better with a TA bumper cover vs a firebird cover, but idk

Either way, it's nice to see something different haha
