Your going to have to change the front and back bumper. Then if your car didnt have the early ground effect, you have to drill holes in the doors, fenders, and rear quarters. Also gonna need to fab up a bracket to hold on the rocker panel. The bracket on the 85 and up cars are welded to the body.
Definately doable if you can get a good deal on the whole set. I did it on my 84 but dont have any install pics.

so ill have to replace the front bumper? i shouldve been more specific i am just talking about the front ground affect. if i get a front ground affect i cant just unbolt the stock one and bolt on the one from an 87? im ok with drilling holes and stuff in them to attach it to the bumper cover but it seems like alot of work for just swapping front ground affects?

yeah the contour of the front bumper is slightly different from the 82-84 style to the 85-90 style so it wont line up correctly.

so its only the sides that dont match up? right in front of the front wheels? and all i would have to do is cut both GFX at that seam and find a way to hold them together? sounds easy enough, i think im up for it, thanks!

Try contacting xpndbl3 on these boards. When I swapped my 85-90 ground effects for the 91-92's, he took my old stuff for his 84 Z.
