Front Bumper Question!
Allright everyone I have been looking everywhere and I can't find a front bumper to work. The bumper on the 90 Formulas is just plain ugly so I want to switch to something else. The problem is I don't know what bumpers will work on cars without ground effects. I love the trans am and gta bumpers but they both have gfx. Do I have any other choices? Also the 91-92s are awesome but they cost a fortune. Please any help would be great. Thanks, Ron.

buy a front clip for a 90-92 camaro and throw that on... It'll get you a lot of looks

for a formula - get the 91-92. get it used.
another option would be a 82 trans am bumper. The 82 t/a's didnt have ground effects.
and a camaro nose is out of the question. you'd have to get different headlights, different hood. not worth it. buy a camaro if you like how a camaro looks.
the knight rider bumper is expensive. if you do buy one, its highly recommended you only buy from the best companies, which also seem to be the most expensive companies. Prices range $600-1500 depending on who you go with and if it is out-of-the-mold or ready-to-paint. Thats not including the scanner light which is a few more hundreds of dollars.
But hey, money wasnt the reason i didnt buy a knight rider nose. I wanted a bumper with ground effects. To my surprise none of the companies would make one, nor they wanted to. One of the companies need to step up and make a bumper with ground effects. It would sell better then there ugly bumpers they make for 4th gens.
