As the title says "REAR BUMPER", i am looking for more of a sleek profile instead of the bulky firebird bumper. thanks guys

It'll probably work with some trimming and adjustments.The stock Firebird bumper looks hideous on the car.Mine has been pulled off and looks much cleaner without it,I'm planning on building a custom valance/diffuser

I'm running a 68 camaro bumper on my 68 firebird. Just a little massaging.

Lenie,

LOVE YOU CAR " It's been my motivation", By massage do you mean brackets, bumper, the bumper mounts? any help is greatly appreciated.

Nice work for sure...if you're staying all-Pontiac that's the ticket.
If it were my car,I'd be fabbing the thinner,much more eye-pleasing Camaro bumper in back.:yes:

Lenie,

The bumper brackets to body holes lined up but the bumper to body gaps were off so I stripped the bumper of the chrome, shaved the bolt holes, cut the ends of the bumper off, cut the bumper to get gaps right, welded the ends back on, did a little body work on the bumper, primed and painted. Sounds like more work than it really is but turned out nice, I'll try to get a pic for you posted soon. Cars been on hot stand by as I have other priorities at the moment. Thanks for the comment.
