changing bumber covers

before anyone starts bitching and telling me to search, i have and nothing turned up, mostly not even fitting the description for bumber covers.

so i was wondering if i can fit a 91 formula nose on my 87 without an alterations. i mean i can do the body work if need be but are they direct bolt-ons or what and if anyone has seen my homepage you can see the need for a new nose. that is why a bra is a bad idea in the sun. the old owner had one on and it melted to the nose and he tried peeling it off (bad idea) and hes the outcome:

I think it should be a direct bolt on. Almost positive.
