  • Anyone switch rear bumper for T/A bumper??

    Shortly after I bought my firebird (96) I broke my rear view mirror, so I went to a couple junkyards and took months before I found a rearview. But I did find a totalled T/A.

    Always thougth T/A bumpers looked much better, and this one was the same color. So I bought it for $50.00 and gave him , my old one. Colors matched perfect too.

    So anyways someone complimented me on my bird the other day, and asked if it was a T/A. Said no, he said didn't the bumper only come on T/A, i say yes. He siad yeah it looks weird.

    He said it looked weird [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img]

    Has one else done this? Or does it look weird?
    I think it makes it look a whole lot better.

      It looks weird if you don't have dual exhuast. Also, the hatch brings it out a little better IMO. I'm going for the hatch before the bumper

        I put the hatch on mine already, and think it looks terribly awkward without the dual exhaust and bumper.

        I need to change the bumper and get a new exhaust.

          I have dual exhaust on it already, but just the flat spoiler.

          I haave the pipes coming out and sitting about 1/2' to 1' inch under the bumper. Still visible, but still under the bumper. No tips, just open pipe.

            Get some quad tips, that'll compliment the bumper better IMO

              I like it, and did it years ago. The T/A GFX are next.
