i have an 84 Z28 and i was wondering if you could swap an 87 or newer front bumper on it and the ground effects?

 

Yes but, you'll have to modify the fender's gfx holes to accept the newer valance (gfx part). Keep in mind too, the newer (85+) fx are larger in height than your current gfx so it may no look completely correct with a newer front and the older trailing gfx.

 

its not all that bad mine was hit in the front and the 91-91 lower air dam was cheaper than the 85-90 but here check it out

also....if your going to install an 85-92 nose on an 84 Z28, you'll have to shave off some of the impact plastic off beneath the nose. If you don't, then the 85-92 nose will not fit properly....it will buldge out. I just used a "saws-all" to shave the plastic beneath the nose when I did a complete clone on my OLD 84 Z28 (to a 1991-92 Z28) If you can't get ahold of a saws-all....a hax-all would work fine....just make sure to shave it down..of the 85-92 nose won't fit properly. good luck

 

I didn't shave any of my impact plastic. I just bolted the nose on with all new hardware (nuts and bolts with washers instead of those clips) And made the holes for the bottom ground effects on the fenders. There is no bulging at all in mine and it looks just like its a 89' except for the rear ground effects and bumper cover which I havent changed out yet.

 

that's pretty weird. Maybe it's because yours is an 82 or something? I knew I had to do this because there was another guy about 4 miles from here who had to shave his plastic underneath to add the 85-92 style nose to his 84. On my car, the 85-92 nose would buldge out when it was bolted on...because of the impact plastic. If you look from a side from on an 82-84 nose...and then a side view of the 85-92 nose, the 82-84 nose extends just a little bit more....and that's why there was more plastic beneath it. I took the nose of an 84 and a 91 and the plastic beneath the noses were different too. Maybe some 82-84's impact plastic were made different on some of them....because mine didn't not fit without having to shave.

 

It seems that the Front is easy enough i am worryed about the Whole Side Peace.

Is that easy to do?

 

this is also somthing i was thinking of doing to my 84 z28, i live the look of a red z with the black grill insert

 

here is a picture of my old 84 Z28...and I cloned it to the 91-92 Z28 style. I had to drill numerous holes...make a few brackets and tabs...but I did it. Just depends if you want to deal with the work involved.

 

is ther alot of work involed?.. i know u have to drill wholes but i dont know how you would do it on the side... where would you drill at?? from the side? i seen the spot to put the screws on the top where u open the door. it dosn't seem like that would be enough.
