liek the title states i cannot find an lt1 trans am front bumper that is in usable shape that doesn't need to be fixed or plastic welded up. i want to get an oem one because all i have heard about aftermarkets are bad things so where can i find me one and also a drives side headlight assembly pretty cheap (remeber this is on a 17 yr old budget that only gets 50 bucks a week for lunch) thanks

also in my m6 95 bird i can replace the harness to the motor from teh firewall forward right. it just unplugs from teh other part of teh harness rigth thanks eveyone

Thats why when I hit a deer last spring the ins. company was fighting tooth and limb to total the car because the junkyard was going to give them a crazy amount for it

Finding good LT1 parts is just getting hard. Even here in Michigan, junkyards have NOTHING for Fbodies. In the two days that a 96 SS was in the yard, it was stripped of EVERYTHING.



Keep looking, one will turn up eventually. Does it have to be a TA bumper? Formula/Firebird bumpers are much more common.
