Would a Firebird bumper fit on a Camaro bumper?

I like they have the opening in the bumper for the exhaust tips to come out and they seem a little lower to the ground. Anyone tried this or know if it would work?

unless the sides are diffrent i would think it would work cause the rear 1/4 are the same (i think)

Re: Would a Firebird bumper fit on a Camaro bumper?

the only thing I'd question would be the fit of where the tail-lights come down and meet the bumper. It would seem to me, just from looking at the back of my car, there's not enough of a corner where it meets, to fit... this is just from looking at the back of my formula and guessing about the camaros... just getta rear valance from WW

It wont fit. where it bolts are the same holes but the contour and everything else wont even come close to matching.

I agree the firebird's tail lights are bigger and the top of the bumper is shaped totally different.

IT can be done, it may require some modification. They are close to shape and size with some variation.
