Wanting to change the rear-end look of my car. (Bumper,Spoiler,Tail lights)

In my own opinion,i prefer the look of the rear side 91-92 trans ams more than the ones before. I have the stock Trans Am Smoked grid tailights,i love em but i like the newer ones even better. I also love the look of the bumpers as well. Just wondering if the bumper would even out with the ground effects on the Trans Ams earlier than the 91-92's. I would imagine so but i havent gotten into details about it all yet. heres a picture of what i want to do to my rear end. And also,i know i need the tailight wiring harness as well



LOVE that look. Ground effect wise, i mean would the bumper ground effects and the ones on the rear panels even out? And if someone can tell me what spoiler that is,id really appreciate it. It looks like the 4th Gen wrap around that came on the Firebirds and Trans Ams. Thanks guys

it could be a modified 4th gen spoiler. I think it looks pretty sick looking. Id like to see a complete car shot to see if i like the look with the whole car.

Yes those wings only came on 91-92 GTAs & Formulas. A 4th gen wing sits higher & will need some modifications to fit.

The ground effects wrapping around the side of the car won't fit together and flow with the door ground effects.
