Exactly what gfx are you talking about? There are quite a few styles for birds.

Does yours have the spat things in front of the wheels right now?

Well you've got small "spats" or 2nd gen inspired extensions on front of the wheel wells.

84 TA's (and I think some 83's?) had an "aero package" That stuck down somewhat. Looks alittle like the 86 TA you're probably looking at.
This style.


85-90 TA's had an even lower version that included foglights and flush bumpers.
This style.


91-92 TA's have a "swoopy" style that rounds out the front end and the arcs upward.
