Yeah you can get an 85 and up front end clip. It will fit fine. The only thing that will cause problems are the ground effects. You will have to drill new holes for them to bolt in. Im not sure about the clear side markers.

I've done an 84 Z28 cloned to a 92 Z28 before on my previous Camaro, 85-92 nose will work. The main thing I had to do is I had to cut 2 slashes in my 2 fenders for the 1992 Z28 front ground effect to attach it. You also might take this into consideration: When you put the 85-92 front nose on...you will have to cut away some of the plastic underneath for it not to bulge out. 82-84 Z28's had more plastic underneath. I cut away alot of it and the 85-92 nose bolted up fine.
