00Black bird, I used some screws and washers into the main points, so far many ppl have ridden shotgun and the door still feels just as sturdy as it use to be, those melted plastic tabs were the friggin WORST design i have EVER seen... jeez comon, domestic cars are supposed to be better than this!! my friends 3kgts front bumper was held on by about 300 screws bolts/nuts and washers, it was a PITA to get that damn thing off, then he ruined the car and had to see it (tried to put twin turbos into it... lol.... used lots of jacuzzi hose and rubberbands...i accidentally dropped a bolt into one of the turbos and he nearly **** a brick... didng damage it but its still funny to talk about lol we got it out with a magnet pen thing lol ahhh... good ol days...) oh and thanks for the compliment jordan!

The Firebird and Firebird Formula have the same bumper (bottom image) This is also true of the Front Bumper. The Trans Am's have a unique bumper (regardless of whether the car has the WS6 option)
Incedentally, WS6 is also available on Formula's yet they retain the standard bumper.96 Teal Firebird<br />Colchester, Essex, UK<br /><a href=\"http://www.centrestage.free-online.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">www.centrestage.free-online.co.uk</a>

5speed, its not aluminum. it was labeled "zinc steel" and it was near the roofing section maybe it wasnt "roofing" but it was around there...... it is also 1/4 the cost of the aluminum sheets i have found.... so i wish it were aluminum but its not-Hawk<br /><br />===================================<br />Black 2001 Pontiac Firebird<br />Automatic Transmission Street Bird<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453</a> <br /><br />\"Live like you were Dying\"

i think its 3m that makes it but there is a clear plastic adhesive you could put that over it and it would keep anything from touching it
they make it for front bumpers and headlightsno fate but what we make<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748167/1\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748167/1</a>
