hey guys i have a 88 iroc, is there anything different between my current back bumper and a 91-92 RS or Z28 back bumper?

 

Yes, there is a slight difference. The ground effects are more "exagerrated" and will not line up with and stick out past you original quarter panel gfx. It will bolt up but will not match unless you get the 91-92 quarter gfx.

 

These might help illustrate:

Old-





New-

 

i alreadyd have the 91-92 gfx's. i was just wondering incase i didnt need to spend $187 on a new 91-92 bumper

 

Get the bumper so it looks right with the rest of the ground effects.

Plus, the 91-92 bumper looks better anyway in my opinion

 

yeah. i got the new front spoiler (front bumper) for $100 new. I got the rest of the gfx's besides the bumper for $200 ebay. Now im getting the back bumper for $187 new. Too much or too little?

 

Well I traded in all of my old stuff (minus the nose) plus $150 cash for the whole set of 91-92 ground effects (minus the nose of course). I found piecing it all together from different people would end up being too expensive.

But then again, you're getting new parts so that doesn't sound bad.

 

I took a pic:

 

I found a good as new USED one on Ebay for $45. I wouldn't spend the $$$$$ for a new rear bumper. Front bumper, MAYBE as they see more road abuse, but not a rear.

 

Exactly. The front spoilers are usually beat up and cracked, but typically the rest of the ground effects are in great shape used.

 

ya the door and rear 1/4 panels i got from ebay are missing all the tabs, im not sure how those are gona hook up though. Any ideas? (no he didnt mention the tabs were gone when i bought them either)

 

I was also able to bondo and sand down this cracked piece that he sent me. I just hope it holds and that you cant see it when i gte it painted. (this is the before shot)

 

Don't bondo the rocker panel. It's urethane, which bondo does not like and flexes so it will crack back of anyways. Use the 3m bumper epoxy.

You don't need the bottom tabs to mount the gfx. Just attach it to the gfx rail and put the front and rear body bolts in and that's all you need.

 

Ok thanx. I might also end up just seeing how much a new aftermarket one is. I dont wana take the risk of having anything show after i get it painted. Also, for the rear 1/4 panels the tabs are missing too, what effect will this have?
