82-84 Style Bumper help, PLEASE!

Hey, I'm trying to restore my 84 Trans Am a bit, and I'm in need of a front bumper. I've been searching for almost a year now for a company that does reproduction 82-84 style bumpers, but nobody makes them, and I mean nobody. I've given up trying to find a company, and I've been looking out for 82-84 Trans Ams for a parts car I could use.

Question is, Will any 82-84 style bumper WITHOUT the ground effects have drill holes for them? My 84 has ground effects, but most of the very few 82-84's being sold around here do not have ground effects. It would look syupid for me to have a front bumper without ground effects while the rest of the body has them.

Can anyone give me some help? Much appreciated

Re: 82-84 Style Bumper help, PLEASE!

Wow, thats awesome, thanks alot for the replies.

I'm definitly interested in the front end from your 84. How much are you looking for it? Also, if you have it, I'd be interested in the pass. side headlight assembly along with the pass. side fender. I only really need the bumper and headlight assembly though, the fender has a dent that should be able to be banged out. But yeah, I'm right next to Springfield MA, so its not too far away.

I'm definitly interested, let me know how much you're looking for it and we can work something out.


Thanks, really appreciate the help
