i kinda like it firebird bumper cover, and is that the 4th gen firebird wing? along with the bumper cover modified to have the exhaust exit like the 4th gen firebirds? i like the license plate filler panel idea on a camaro. used to be able to get them with the gts tail light covers

try working on your photochops with the picture size above 100% so you can get more accurate.

Also, try using layers to help control your changes, and blah blah blah.

Now lets see you actually do that modification to the rear bumper, then you will get mad props.

I think thats the biggest problem on its own from a straight behind shot it looks pretty sweet but you would need to have a body kit on the rest of the car that went with that rear bumper cover and that whole kit would probably make your car look like crap

But it is its ***... that's why it looks like it [?]

It'd look better if it was a 3rd gen style of a 4th gen t/a *** I think.

but a man can dream right? besides, hes got some good ideas and i know what its like to be young and try to mod your car..........i waas thinking about something like his last pic (body colored) but just notching out on a thridgen bumper...come to find out there isnt really much room.

but id say go for it with the black, especially with a black wing just do your bes tto try to get it to flow with the rest of the car

If you totally got rid of the center bumper section, not just paint it black, then put air-stabilizer fins (not sure what they are really called...) like NASCAR, I think that would look bad ***.

Why not just buy a fourth gen T/A? Getting that to look right and not hack-ish is going to be a pickle.

It looks good from the back but I fear a side profile will not look good at all.

I think it looks good in black. It would look cool I think if it was recessed in any at the bottom it rolled under the car, like a roll pan. Not sure what exactly you had planned, whether it was just paint or a recessed look too.

Those are called diffusers, IIRC. They are just there to straighten out and speed up the air. I don't like those, but I think that rear end idea is awsome. Go for it.

I think it could look really good if you left the license plate in the stock location and still have that black area around the exhaust.
