Actually you'll need the new or used front and rear bumper, front spoiler, driver and passenger rocker panel ground effects, door ground effects,rear quarter panel ground effects.For the front spoiler, and ground effects you need to drill holes into the sheet metal of your car, and buy or make a metal bracket for the rocker panel ground effects.You need to drill 3 holes on the driver and passenger sides front fenders, for the spoiler. 2 on the rear of the fender for the rocker panel gfx.And 1 at between the door and the rear wheel well.5 for the door gfx.And 2 for the quarter panel gfx.I did this to my 85 SC my car looked similar to yours but now it looks like an 88 SC.There is alot of work involved in this so be careful, so make templates for all of the holes you will need to drill into your car.Go to the junk yard and find a car with the same kind of gfx and use make the templates for the apporaite areas.

Hey I am from rowlett, too. What does your car look like? Mine is a black 83 Firebird. I have probably seen you around town before.

I see what your talking about. Your front fenders have the 3 holes for the lower spoiler right, Then you just need the new front nose and spoiler and you'll have it made.
