4th Gen Bumper On A 3rd Gen???

I STUMBLED ONTO A WEBSITE THE OTHER DAY, WWW.TRANSAMWS6.COM, FAIRLY DECENT SITE. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE SOUND IT MADE AFTER THE PAGE LOADED. RITE ON THE FIRST PAGE, THERE WAS A 3RD GEN TA WITH A 4TH GEN BUMPER. I WENT LOOKING THRU THE SITE TO SEE MORE PICS OF THIS CAR, BUT THERE WERENT ANY. HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THIS DONE? OBVISOULY ITS POSSIBLE, BUT HAS ANYONE REALLY SEEN A 3RD GEN WITH A 4TH GEN BUMPER?? AND IF U HAVE, DOES IT REQUIRE MAJOR MODS TO DO THIS CONVERSION?

BTW: IF THIS CONVERSION IS FAIRLY SIMPLE, I WILL ALSO INSTALL A RAM AIR HOOD, SO FROM THE FRONT IT WILL LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE 4TH GENS

A bit of the 4th gen styling is cool, but I am not too fond of the entire 4th gen car. The 98+ lower bumper cover looks really nice and I like the location of the foglamps.

btw, if you wanna see the video that the sound clip on my site came from, here it is, http://www.transamws6.com/video/ZepherWS6.mpg

Your right, the '98+ bumper does look good, on a '98+ Trans Am. But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
