Yeah, but if you plan on useing the GFX, you'll have to drill the holes in your fenders. Not a big deal

The parking lights aren't the same. The SC type are smaller in size compaired to Z28\Iroc lights.

Sorry, I thought he was asking if they were in the same vacinity for ease of wiring. My bad

It's just 2 bolts on either side like 89cmrodriver said.

From someone who has done the swap. Yes you can swap out a Sport coupe or berlinetta front end for a Z28, RS, or 88 SC front end. The upper nose will bolt on just fine "85-92 they are all the same" 82-84's are the same. Now the only difference inbetween the lower spoiler for the 85-92's is the chin desing and the side mounting hardware.
85-90 has 3 holes in the bottom of each fender for the side part of the spoiler to be bolted onto the fender.
The 91-92 spoiler sorta bolts on the same. I've never seen it in person but there are slilts on the bottom of the fender for the side part of the spoiler to be bolted onto.

I did the 85-90 gfx's swap on my 85 sport coupe. Its easy to do the Front nose and spoiler.

Your SC parking lights will not work with the new fisca, you need the light housings from the 85-92 design if you use that fisca and vise versa for the 82-84. The acutal light sockets that are attached to your wiring harness will work for those light housings.

I was a 180 deg. flip from what you did

My fenders are 82-84, and the nose is off of an 89.

It really is a straightforward job though, you'll see once you get in there.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out
