T/A nose on firebird.

Just wondering if the TA nose will fit on a firebird, and could I install the TA lights on the bird?

Yes In fact I juts did this last weekend with my 87 Bird I installed a 85-90 T/A bumper cover and yes you can install the fog lights if you wish or leave them as air ducts, it's an easy instal but to finsh it off you deffintly need the Front Fender Ground Effects, any questions please feel free to ask.

Yes If i'm not mistaken their all interchangable it may need a lil help but it will fit if you make it, I like I said did the swap on my Firebird because I got hit and I have a 87 Bird and put the 85-90 Front Bumper on and even that took a little force to get on but it's on and looks great.

I'm working on replacing the nose on my '87 T/A. Does anyone know where I can get replacements for the fasteners that attach it to the bottom of the bumper? Plastic clips.

Thanks

FireBoid: you should be able to pick them up at your local auto parts store. The NAPA by me always has them when I need them.
