is it possible to fit a iroc hood on a firebird?

well i came across a iroc hood off a 87' iroc for $20 its pretty nice so i bought it and i have a 85 firebird i was wondering if i can cut out the pop up light holes if it would bolt up?and if it would leave huge gaps between the hood and fenders? just would like to try somthing that not alot of people are doing

only if u replace the fenders, front bumper, lights probably the impact bars.

the bird hoods have a completely diff angle plus they are shaped diff down at the ends for the lights

I don't know if cutting the h/l area is a good idea.I'm guessing not.

That definitely would be different.

A couple people here have changed their Firebird front end to a Camaro front end. Looks different.

Here's a thread with pics of said car. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...clip-swap.html

Also, if you do a search for a member named Nubird, you'll find some pics of his car.

It will bolt up and you can cut whatever shape you want off the front

It wont fix the fender alignment problem nor the bumper to hood fitment

In short, it wont work without the rest of the camaro front clip

The slope of the Firebirds front is too steep.
