Yet another rear bumper cover idea...

Well, call me crazy, but what do you think an 85-90 T/A would look like with a flat rear bumper cover? What I mean by flat is that it is even with the rear tail lights and rolls under similar to a truck rollpan or a Corvette. Can anyone photoshop this?

Later,
Herb

Tricky photoshop, but it can be done. I wasnt sure how it would look until I did it, but I vote nay.

i really dont like that idea.... i think the bird looks just plain funny... like the rear end has a huge overbite or something.... the camaro doesnt look quite as bad (oh, and thats redrockets car!)... but i still dont like the idea....

Hmm, that looks pretty tough to me. I was thinking of making a tail light panel with 2 roundish ferrari style lights in it...

I think it looks interesting on the bird... definately gives it a vette look. It's actually not very noticable on the Camaro. What noone has mentioned is the safety implications though. If you get rid of the area where the bumper is.... it isn't going to fair well when hit or be street legal.
