Will early GFX fit on my car?

I know everything will fit but im not sure of the nose. I had an 84Z and the fron wouldnt fit on my car, an 82Berly. The corners are sharper on my car.

Are there any GFX that will fit my nose or do I have to get a Z28 nose as well?

Rock n Rock

to put front gfx on any non gfx car, you need the front bumper that goes with those gfx, so if you want 82-84 front spoiler, you need the 82-84 z28 front bumper. if you want the 85-90 or 91-92 style front spoilers, you need any front bumper from 85-92.

Ya, if you want a straight bolt on you need a 85-92 nose (bumper), but I saw the sport coupe/berlinetta with a z28 spoiler attached and i liked it, it had a nice different look, with the three slots and the z28 air dam, I dont usually like either of them, but i thought the combo looked decent, if i ever pick up another 82-87 3slot nose car, i'm going to do that for sure

okay yeah, thats the exact problem I had. But what would you do to fix it and make it flush? Cause I kind of want early GFX so I can keep the car somewhat "true" to what it is. But if I have to get a new nose anyway ill get a newer one because I think I already know where I can get one.

I switched all of my ground effects over (nose and back bumper too)...and installed a 91-92 Z28 highrise spoiler on my old 84 Z28

I had it lowered (before I got hit) with a set of the Eibach Sportline Series Lowering Springs....it dropped it about 1 3/4 inches...I love those springs

I would just swap out the noses. That will make things a whole lot eaiser and you wont have to spend a long time modding the spoiler to fit the sc bumper. The conversion is not too dificult to do. I reccomend making cardboard templates with the hole locations. Make them to where they will fit the contours of the body, they should be able to be put on another car and have the hole location in the proper spot. You will need to go to the junk yard or maybe a good friend will let you take their gfx's off so you can fab up the templates.
Keep in mind that the style of gfx you choose will determine the hole location, 82-84,85-90,91-92. All 3 have slightly different hole locations so make sure you get the right car year for the style of gfx you are using.
I also painted her
