Ground EFX conversion

I have an 86 SC w/o ground effects and am wondering if ground efx from a 1984 z-28 will fit. Particularly the front fascia. Will it fit bolt on without any problems?

Eck... don't like that at all. I also have an 86 SC without gfx and was wondering... can the entire front nose be replaced with a Z-28 nose? I think that would look far better.

What about the nose from an 84 Z28? Will it fit onto an 86 SC without any problems?

First off it is a 83 z-28 to start out with, so it has the gfx in the first place. Your going to be drilling some holes in the sc for the new gfx. A z28 nose looks kinda bad on a car with no GFX. Makes the whole front end look huge with nothing the back it up when you look at the rest of the car.

And yes the whole front end can be changed .. like how i did it yesterday ...

I think it looks cool with just the old 82-84 Z28 front bumper and No GFX here take a look

i like it sometimes without the groundeffects but hey its just me

i never saw that 82-84 lower spoiler on a SC front end before like that, looks kind of cool if it was molded, fiberglass work or something. was that photoshop or was that actually like that? i didnt know it could bolt up or stay up from the sides or something like that. (im talking about the first pic posted, not the gold-er ground effects)

I have an 86 SC I just had 85 IROC ground effects put on it, at least I think they were 85 you will need the front and rear bumper covers if you decide to do this, I think most years ground effects should fit as long as you get front and rear bumper covers.

Hope that helps
