Ground Effects?

Ok... i am wondering. I am looking into buying a 84 z28 camaro but i absolutly hate the style of the front bumper ground effects. my question is, will the ground effects from a say a 88 camaro fit on the front bumper? also i noticed that the fog lights were resest. is there anything else different on the front bumper besides the fog lights? one more question is that are the side and rear ground effects the same between the two years? i would want to put a different front GFX on the car before i painted it but wasn't sure if i could do this and w/o changing the rest incase they weren't the same?
Thanks

no 85+ front gfx wont fit on a 82-84 nose the sides you can replace and the rear i think you have to switch the bumper cover

yeah its not like you can just glue the ground effects onto the bumper, the bumper cover and possible the bumper insert (the honey comb thing behind the cover) have to be replaced with the newer style, the side and side rear of the ground effects will fit on and then you will need a new rear bumper cover as well.

i prefer the early 80s once not only cause i have them because i like the front bumper cover wtih the turnsignals that are inside the bumper not flat with it and also the holes in the spoiler in front... they arent too big and you never see anyone driving a camaro with them on it 7/10 camaros i see have the 85-90 and the other 3 have the 91-92 i pass a permenitly parked 3rd gen with 82-84 everyday though
