Trans Am Bumper on Camaro?

[NOS2006]

How much work would it take someone to put a 98-02 T/A Bumper on a '98 Camaro? Think it's possible... or kind of easy?

try a search. people have talked about it many times and i believe i remember some pics popping up too

[NOS2006]

I searched but only found one thread that was 3 posts long and not too helpful. Maybe using the wrong key words?

[BLLDOGG]

well lets just see what i can find.....

With the difference in the hood and headlights, I don't think it will work out without some extensive fiberglass fabrication work.

[BLLDOGG]

by the way, are you talking about the front or rear bumper?

[NOS2006]

Ooh, rear bumper. Sorry for not clarifying..

[BLLDOGG]

either way, here is a good post to read. it covers both ends. http://www.camarov6.com/ubb/ultimate...=002849#000010

Well he explains for changing the taillights, but not the bumper by itself.

I think I'll contact the custom shop my buddy always goes to..

[BLLDOGG]

according to SI, the mounting locations are exactly the same but if you look closely to the two bumpers, the are not the same. the camaro rear bumer comes across the top flat but on a TA, it comes up to form along the bottom the the taillights. unless you have a body shop or yourself fix that so its smooth along the top, it wouldnt fit properly.

can i ask why you would want to do something like this?

[NOS2006]

Yeah, I noticed that looking closer at a few pics. I'd assume all the places to connect the bumper to the body are the same except the top part of the bumper... Shouldn't be TOO hard for a place that knows what they're doing...

Why? Just for style. I like the TA bumper. Why not?

I happen to like the rear bumper of the TA too. I threw togehter a quick photoshop of how it could look.

I didn't spend very long making it, but I like it.

[NOS2006]

That looks sweet, though I have a black car and the rear end is totally different. But sweet!

[silvachris1]

How is your back totally different? All I did was graft in a TA bumper in the pic. Here's the original.
