I bought this 91 TA and now I am trying to round up all the parts to fix where it was hit in the front (bumper cover and hood). I found all the bumper supports and fog/turn lights in a local junk yard and now I am just down to the front bumper cover and a few questions.

1. Is there suspose to be some black plastic spoiler pieces that bolt to the bottom of the front cover? There is non on the car however after looking at some pics of cars (nice cars) that members on here have I see some have the air diflector under them.

2. From what I researched there is no difference between the firebird and TA front cover, just the Formula front cover is different?

3. The upper bumper support that bolts to the bumper and then to the tray coming off the core support (this is the black colored piece that hold the hood bumper mounts), is this piece the same across all years or just 91-92 only.

4. There is a black air defuser coming off the bottom of the core support infront of the radiator. This is a really flimbsey (sp?) piece of plastic. Is there any aftermarket pieces that are better formed for air intake to the radiator or has anybody make a air intake for this area?

Thanks in advance for any help

There is supposed to be a three piece lower air damn, i believe, if you go to:

you'll be able to find what you need (if i'm wrong, someone correct me). As far as the front bumper itself, it is the same for Trans Ams/GTAs/Firebirds with the Trans Am appearance package. Base model birds got the same nose as the formula's. That black piece of metal support that bolts to the filler panel that holds the hood latch i believe is the same from '82-'92. And to my knowledge, the air damn is sufficient for stock applications, although other people will be able to tell you whether or not there are other alternatives.
