Firebird formula TO Firebird Trans Am body change POSIBLE???

Hi,
I have a 89 firebird formula...personally I like the trans am body style better.
So far the only thing I have changed is the hood and that fit without any problems.

I was wondering...would the bumpers (front and back)/ bumper side effects, side skirts and door effects work without any major work?

What would I have to do with the door skirts...drill and bolt them in??

Anyone ever done this? (the whole body) not just the front bumper
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

John

It is all an (almost) direct swap. Worst case? You drill a few new holes to mount the new pieces. Simple stuff.
