Fenders

I have a 92 camaro RS. I want to get the fender vents like the late 80's GTA's. Are all the fenders interchangable with third gens. They look very similar but not sure if the ground effects have the same spacing for the tabs.

1. GTA's didn't have fender vents.

2. Camaro and Firebird fenders are not interchangeable unless you replace the Camaro nose and hood too.

So you can turn a Camaro into a Firebird.

Yeah! No, not really. I take it you have seen it on base then? Mine is white with grey ground effects and stupid chrome fender flares. Ahhh I hate them. Now that I think about it, I have seen another white one here. Huh, small world.

I got mine off of ebay for 60 bucks. I don't even think they are even produced anymore....GM or aftermarket. I think your best bet would either be a Junkyard or Ebay.

you can go to here http://www.up22.com/camaro82.htm#C-406R&L
part number is C-406. But these are the whole fender. Do yours need repair? Otherwise these would not be worth it.

Cool 84z. Maybe you can answer this question for me too. Go to this website and look at the ascd 82-92 2"camaro cowl induction hood(red camaro). See how the headlight covers look slotted kinda like louvers? Have you seen these before? I want headlight covers just like those.



Headlight covers
