I have been wondering what a 86 to 88 GT would look like with the Notchback Bumperpad bumper up front.

I think it would give the car a more Pontiac Arrow (symbol) look.

Anyone have any pics?

Eh I think it would look pretty ugly with just the front bumperpad fascia.

To make it look clean, you'd need the base model rocker panels, and the rear bumperpad fascia. The aero cladding at the bottom of the fenders, doors, and quarter panels would need to be removed, and the holes filled.

Probably also want to either fill in the "PONTIAC" on the rear fascia, or modify the fastback taillights so that they don't also say "PONTIAC".

My opinion anyway...

it looks fantastic, much better then the aero nose...there are a few pictures somewhere.

wow that looks alot better than i imagined in my brain cavity!

Yeah it's really surprising how well it works together!

The bumper pad nose is my favorite - it give the car a nice wedge look.

I'll trade someone a bumperpad nose for an aero nose for this combo

I think it looks good. My only gripe is there is not many of them that are full bumper pad setup with the fastback clip. Many are simply GT's that have the front bumper or the rear bumper replaced. I think the full setup looks pretty good if it's done all the way around without the ground effects.

A lot of people do seem to go the '87-'88 route full on without ground effects though, and it's a rather nice look.

Rear looks good too, but you have to fill in the PONTIAC on the bumper or it looks kinda of strange with the matching PONTIAC lights.

hmmm Well im hot on a lead for a 3.4 swapped 88 GT that had the front bumper destroyed in a single car to sign impact. He wants 500 for it as the top end of the motor is taken apart cuz he wanted to put some kind of better flowing intake on it (thinking Truleo?) But it did run and drive 5 months ago when it was parked.

and i have a Bumperpad bumper sitting in the garage just waiting for a car to be installed on.

Round body moulding with a ribbed bumper?

It all ads up - some 'glassing in your future?

Or just get all ribbed molding. Until there is a decent way to make the bumperpads look like they have smooth moldings that is what I'll do.

Those 88s remind me of a 1990 Nissan 300ZX. I guess I can't consider an 88 a bumperpad technically, but they are some versatile, being body color.
