well considering the front ends of the cars are completely different, i doubt a camaro front spoiler would bolt right onto a bird

Keep the T/A GFX.. You would have to mod for sure to get the camaro front end on a firebird.. whole different contour of the body.. as for the panels, not sure?? Anyone got any insight on that?

Considering a Camaro front end (nose, etc..) is 2 pieces & a T/A front is one, I'd say it would be difficult at best. Also, the Camaro gfx are molded to conform to the air inlets (where the driving lights go) as well in as to where a T/a has none, the contours would be hard to match.

With a bit of creativity, a saw & a sh!tload of 3M plastic putty, it could be done but, I question the time & $$ making it worth the attempt.

Molding in the side 'vents' would probably be an easier task since alot less hacking/molding would be involved. But, that's just my opinion,,, I could be wrong.
