It would require a lot of body work. You'll notice that when you compare the two bumpers you'll notice on the Firebird bumper there is a raised portion unlike the rear of the Camaro. The rear portions are completely different I guess you could if you converted an entire trans am rear clip but then you need to change the rear fenders and even the hatch onto it but why

I'd bet the quarters are the same underneath; looks like the rounded edge of the tails as they wrap around are the same on both cars. Even if that was the case, you'd still have to swap the tailights, bumper, and hatch. Paul (SmokingSS) would probably know for sure if the quarters were the same between the Bird and Camaro.

it looks like you may jsut be able to remove your camaro bumper cover, bumper support/impact foam, tail lights, and hatch and swap the firebird stuff on.
i gotta say i can't see it looking good with a camaro front end and firebird rear though.

if your modifying it and know you have to cut it, then why ask if it will fit, you can make anything fit

Ummm... in my opinion, it wont flow. Just find a rear valiance and call it a day. Save yourself the embarrasement when someone points at your car and laughs cuz it looks like crap in the back cuz I believe the TA bumper sticks out alot further, PLUS ull need some sort of side skirts to make up for the low-hanging TA bumper... If u think itll fit, try it. Just dont transfer the WS6 badges over I dont get it tho. why would you do that in the first place, because itll make your exhaust nicer??? Am I missing something here?
