new style bumper cover

Last week i was rear-ended with minor damage. I got a few estimates all aroud 1100. The only thing im planning on repacing is the bumper cover. I have an 86 z28 and was wondering if the new style 89 or 90- 92 ( i think ) would fit. I think the flare at the bottom loos much better than the one i have now. I dont see y it wouldnt the ground-effects going in look to be the same. Just thought i should check with the experts.

Also what are the options for the emblems at the bottom?

I know at a certain year they started to say iroc on the back

i believe the rear bumper cover is the same, the only difference is the rear ground effect, like you said it has more flare to it than the iroc-z rear ground effect...someone feel free to correct me if im wrong...as for the emblems, in 1988 they changed them so they said IROC-Z instead of Z28. hope this helps

If you ask me its going to Look funny with just that bumper and the rest of your GFXs (Which are 85-90 Style)
You are completely and totally wrong, you do not pass go and you do not collect 500.

The Bumper is basically the same, only thing different is the gfx. The 91-92 style flare outward, were as the 87-90 have a st8 which flares down.

| <87- 90 looks like that
/ < 91-92 looks like that

The only real difference, the GFX holes are different than yours, so if you re-use your old ones, you'll need to drill/mod the current holes.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes you are correct sir. The emblems are all the same size however, and you can swap any emblem in place. Try it out sometime!
