I was originally going to convert my T/A into a Knight Rider replica, but have since decided against it due to work being flaky. Soooo, what I need to know (I figure I'd ask here first) are there any aftermarket vendors for front and rear fiberglass bumpers for my 82-84??? I sold my original warpy urethane bumper skins, and need some good straight replacements. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've searched high and low, and unfortunately they don't appear to exist for an 84 firebird/ trans am. The closest you'll find is a complete fiberglass front end that is one piece with the bumper cover and fenders, but they're like $800 or more, very thin, and they're meant to be bolted onto a tube frame drag car... hardly a suitable stock replacement. I did some searching and found a very nice original front and rear bumber cover that aren't warped, so just keep looking and you'll find something. Any bumper cover from 82-84 will work for you, you can always drill holes for the 1984 T/A front and rear ground effects if your car has them.
check out earlythirdgen.com too, there are several of us "early bird" owners there that can help with specific 82-84 questions.

That's what I figured. I know VFN sells rear bumpers for mine. I was hoping someone made a front out of fiberglass. Looks like I'll have to find a stock one to replace mine, or I remember Year One selling replacement urethane ones. The only thing I'm not really into is trying to get old paint off of a good old one.

I don't know the range of interchangability, but I have a couple of
good front bumper skins of the '90 formula variety. If you're interested,
PM me, & I'll provide some pics. Will need to ship from TX.
