Repro Trans Am Bumper
In need of a front bumper for my TA, ive been looking around for a good used one but cant really come up with anything. has anyone had good luck finding a company or site that sells a good reproduction bumper? something durable and a good fit?

Re: Repro Trans Am Bumper
Look on Ebay and Craigslist. I have bought several used body parts off of Ebay with good luck. Shipping can be a bit pricey, usually around $75 for something like a fender but I only gave $9 for it in the auction. The reproduction front bumper covers are actually pretty good. I have seen them on cars and they look nice. Keep in mind they are still a major body piece and may require some shimming and tweaking to make it look and fit just right.

i had to go with a repo header panel on my camaro, fit pretty darn good. was impressed. couple small discrepencies, but nothing a little sanding didn't fix.
