Corvette rear bumper? Wasn't the Corvette back-end all one piece? And if it was separate, I think it would be difficult to make it flush with the rest of the T/A back-end....?

That and the fact that even if you wanted to hack it together, you wouldn't be able to weld them or anything because the 'Vette is Fiberglass and the T/A isn't.

I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth.

The 87 Trans Am has a nice butt as it is anyway...
