new GFX on my car

So ive got an 1983 Z28 and am looking to change my GFX to the 90-92 style, ive run the search bar in the forums and havent come up with much other than the swap from 85-89 to 90-92. What all needs to be changed in order to put the newer style gfx on the 82-84body style? will it bolt up or not at all? any info would be great.

You will need all the GFX (rear, rocker panel, and front) along with a new nose from a 85-92.

Engine: 5.7
Transmission: Jasper 700R4 Stage II
Axle/Gears: 3.23 For Now
Here's the break down-

To convert 82-84 to 85-90 or 91-92 you will need:

A new nose, 85-92 RS, IROC, Z28 will all work because the front ground effect will bolt on all of the front noses.

The rocker and door ground effects from either 85-90 style or 91-92 style

The back bumper from 85-90 style or 91-92 style

Various holes will need to be drilled to attach them and also, for the 91-92 style, the bottom of the fenders will need a "line" cut in it for the ground effect to attach to the side of the lower fender. Some of this probably dosen't make much sense, but when you do it, it will. It's really not to hard to do....just need a little patience and some tools. Good Luck

i'm doing the 84 to 85-90 style swap right now and it's all self explanatory.....drill a few holes and it's good to go. easy as pie.
