1983 firebird front nose?
I am looking for a reproduction firebird nose, I cant seem to find any of the original 83 front ends(the ones with the two grill cutouts), all I can find are repro trans ams and the 85 solid front ends(the ones with no cut outs). I really like the 83 front end but finding a used one is impossible(nothing around here worth buying). Mine has a big cut on the passenger side and the little grills are trashed. I would love a knightrider front nose but those are way too much for what they are. I dont care if its rubber or fiberglass or what, I did a search and came up short. Anyone know a good source?

I just did a search on car-part.com. It listed several as assemblies. www.car-part.com

I looked there as well, and for about what they want on anything within 100 miles I can get a new one. I found one place that sells them for $260 plus $80 for shipping. But I wanted to see if there was anything cheaper/better.

Re: 1983 firebird front nose?
i kept an eye out on he bay for one for about 3 months. one slipped away and the other i got. luckily it was a GM piece as i matched it to the one i had on my car that i bought from PONTIAC long ago. didnt prime or protect the one on the car so it pitted.
i paid a lil more than my last one but i knew finding another new one wasnt gonna happen. now i gotta find a rear bumper cover and im set for my 83. gotta find a rear cover for my 89 as well, have a nose for it stored away also.
