You could put a camaro front clip but then you would have to replace the hood and fenders
If you want to put a camaro front end on a trans am......... DO IT!!!! I always thought the camaro front ends looks better, escpecially if its a 91 or 92 firebird that is all SNARLY looking.

You would have to change the hood and fenders because the firebird hood sits slightly lower down.
See in the pic how the cars are the same dimensions, but the firebird hood sits slightly lower than the Camaro's... in turn, you would have to change the fenders as well.... hopefully everything else would fit from that point on.

Please, no, don't do it... 999 out of 1000 people will laugh at you, including me. It gives the appearance of "hey, the kid wrecked his car, and couldn't afford a trans-am clip! He put on a Camaro clip instead!" instead of a "hey, cool, a Camaro-bird."
