1989 iroc-z with Corvette rear bumper?


I'll take a better picture when I get home
I recently bought an iroc-z, and the rear bumper is from a Corvette, I heard they sold kits to do this in the 90s, I was wondering if anyone knew how to undo this swap? What parts are needed?

It's just the tail lights. Put a note in the classifieds you want to trade em for a stock set and someone will probably take you up on the offer.

Aren't those just covers over the stock TL's? Never bothered looking closer to find out.

I'm not sure, the guy I bought it from says he has the stock tail lights.

It's not off of a Corvette. It's a filler panel. The stock tails are removed and this panel is put in it's place.
Looks ridiculous.

The hatch no longer opens because the key hole is gone, and the spoiler is gone aswell, is it more than just a panel?

Well... that’s why C4s don’t have bumpers...

Re: 1989 iroc-z with Corvette rear bumper?

It looks like the trunk would pop from the switch inside.. or the lock is still behind the plate

The switch doesn't work inside, and the lock isn't behind the plate.

Re: 1989 iroc-z with Corvette rear bumper?

So there's no way to open the trunk, no reverse lights, and the corvette lights are fading to yellow? Sounds like a great set-up.... :-/
