I have asked this like 100 times but this is similar so I will ask again and hopefully someone will know. Is the 91-92 front airdam longer or lower than on the 85-90 front airdams? In pictures it always looked like it was but i never could tell, thanks for any help!

on the 91-92s it is more pointed and sticks out a bit farther, that the 85-90, in my opinion i think it looks better

I bet www.thirdgenresource.com has what you need. I'd email them to find out if they have them in stock.

Its the lower gfx part thats different inbetween the bumpers. Your 84 bumper will not look right with the 91-92 rear gfx's nor will they match up correctly. You also need to get a 91-92 rear bumper.

the only thing with not having the spoiler, to people that know a little bit about camaros and dont realize you have swaped the ground fx will think you have a 91-92 rs and put z28 emblems on it. I would get the new spoiler but i painted my car long before I should have

Like someone had said you'll need an '85&up Z28/IROC nose for the lower piece to fit/look right.Also the rear ground effect is intergrated into the bumper cover,pieces behind the rear wheels are separate.

Here is a complete clone of a 1992 Z28...actually my old 84 before it was totaled. Came out VERY nice.....all the ground effects...nose...back bumper...and the highrise spoiler.

its not a complete bolt on...trust me. Me and crazy hawaiian traded body kits. To put the 91-92 on pre 91 Camaros you have to slightly cut the peice that the side skirts lay on. (the part under your door) you have to cut an angle at the ends of them. Then also you will have to drill a new holes for the outside parts of the skirts. As for the front bumper you will have to cut slits for the side of hte lip to hold to the fender. Other then that everything else bolts right up.

well if all else fails i still have my perfect stock ones, and alot of fiberglass and body fill
would it be possible at all to attach the front ground effects to my 84's nose? and how hard is it to put the spoiler on

The ground effect wouldn't line up or look good due to the section between the headlights comes more to a point on a 91-92Z than the flatter nose from an '84Z.

but i could for sure get an entire new nose with the GFX and it would bolt on very simply? and the rear bumper with the GFX is all one piece right
ps. in that pic are you talking about the spot under the license plate?
