Tore my ground effect in half...

Ok, so I pulled up to a parking block today, and I misjudged it a bit and scraped on it. The thing is, when I went to back off, the lower half of the front ground effect on the driver side tore almost completely off. So what I'm wondering is, what if I got the front GFX from a 91-92 Camaro and used them? I really like the looks, but I cant figure out whether or not it would fit right?

I see threads about TA GFX on Camaros, but never the reverse..

Nope, the front GFX from a camaro wont work on a T/A. The T/A's front lower gfx is actually part of the bumper, whereas it is seperate on the camaro. The front side gfx pieces are seperate on a T/A though, if you look at your car you will see what I mean.

Well, I guess I just have to watch ebay and the classifieds, 'cause no yards around here have it. Thanks for the help.

If the 91-92 Camaro ground effects are separate from the bumper, you could try mounting them to a T/A nose from 82-84. For 82-84 TAs, the ground effects were a separate piece from the rest of the nose, unlike the 85-90 TAs. I'm still not sure if the shape will be a close enough match though. It'd be interesting to find out
