New Front Bumper

I've decided I'll just ask. I hit my front bump at 20 mph after losing control over a very wet bridge, the wieght of the car took over my car's control. From what yr to what yr are parts interchangable with my Pontiac Firebird 1987.



this pic is before it got hurt

Sorry to hear that man. You will find that 85 - 90 base firebird and formula will have the same parts as yours.

qusetion

I noticed on the Hawks site for parts, I noticed the bumper I was looking at, was the picture of the 82-84 from bumper with the grate like grille, without modifications, is there anyway I could put that on my 87?

Edit : alright I realized that up in this thread that he told me that parts from 85 to 90 are interchangable, but does that go for everything, I liked the fender and I just wanted another opinion, I have also read someone telling someone else that it was possible to put an 85 front bumper on a 91 bird, I was told up till 90 so I am not sure, thanks

the 82 - 84 will also fit but you will need to get not only the bumper cover but also the impact bar and the honeycomb plastic thing inbetween and there is also some other stuff underneath you might need. Also the 87 should have a airscoop infront of the radiator that the 82-84 is missing so you might have problems fitting that one. Fenders are the same.

For the 91-92 I do not know.
