Nose Job

I recently replaced my '91 RS nose with that of a reproduction plastic version that just flat out sucks.Can someone tell me where I can get the correct fiberglass nose that belongs on my car or where I could get a bolt-on one piece front end?

Get as many body replacement parts from GM not aftermarket ones. Aftermarket stock replacement body parts as you just found out, suck. I replaced the bumper cover on mine with a GM part and the ground fx was aftermarket (GM didn't have any in stock)... The nose fit perfect but the aftermarket ground fx doesn't fit quite right.

Factory bumper covers are urethane plastic, not fiberglass.

Why not get a used one from a junk yard?
