yeah if you have the gfx to go with it. if you dont, you can still bolt it on, but it will not meet up with the rest of the car..

They came stock like that on my 90... I mean it has gfx, but it has a Trans Am bumper cover... its kinda funky because the bumper said Pontiac and so do my tail lights! :-)

 

Up to what year can you interchange the front bumpers (ex. I have an 88, what is the latest year I can put on it without changing the lights and stuff) and how hard of a job is it.

 

I think 82-90 will fit withouth messing with the headlights, 91-92 got the shark nose.

 

f-body addict is correct. All 82-90 noses and rear bumpers are interchangeable. BUT the ground effects might not line up. 85-90 have molded-in ground effects in the nose. So you would need 85-90 ground effects on the fenders and doors to make it all look "right".
This is for Trans Am models only!!!

hey nightcruzer...very well done..
I do have one thing to add though...
you can however take a front bumper cover off of a t/a (82_83) and bolt on to a base bird with out adding gfx to make it look right. I know this from experience because I did swap a 83 bumper cover onto my old 86.. her is a pic..


but obviously, with the help of your informative post, the original question would be NO unless he gets the efx for it also.......

swapping to a 91/92 cover will not mess with the flip ups...it just messes with the turn signals meaning they are relocated by the foglamps....
