front end conversion

thinking of switching my trans am front end to a camaro or monte carlo front end or something. getting pissed because i cant find a ta bumper cover in good condition anywhere. i can get everything i need to make it a camaro for about 225 bucks where the cheapest good condition front bumper cover was 250 and about 100 for shipping. would really like to make it a monte carlo front bumper if i have to change it. just wondering if anyone did this before. for the camaro would i have to change the fenders as well because if i dont then it will only cost me about 180.

Re: front end conversion

not sure if the monte will fit. i do know that you will need to swap everything from the glass forward (bumper, hood, fenders) and you will have to rewire the headlights from the single bulb to dual bulb set up. i know there are some pics of transameros on here.
imo not worth the hassle. stick with the trans am front, its more unique and i think looks a lil more badass
