Firebird/Camero

Anybody ever been so tired of their pop up headlights on their Firebird that they swapped a Camaro front end? Also anybody ever replaced their cracked aero wing with a Camaro's wing? I know it would look different, so don't think i'm crazy. Pics of any or both would be neat to see. Thanks!

I think you'd have to swap the entire front clip from a camaro to pull that off, but I have seen someone who had a firebird with a pop-up headlight delete option. I saw it on here a long time ago, haven't seen one since, but it sounded like it was a factory option, you should look into that if you're serious about doin this. As for the spoiler, check out this post for info and pics.

You definately don't need to swap the complete clip. Just the hood, fenders, and nose. I've seen it done, both ways.
