91 to 88 firebird rear bumper question . . .

so I did my conversion (camaro aero gfx w/ an 88 gta rear bumper) now the thing is-the black mesh behind the bumper on the 91 I'm assuming comes out more then on the 88 right-they are different? Because the 88 bumper isn't sitting properly on the car-doesn't look that bad but I want it to be close to perfect-
thanks

p.s. will post pics soon . . . looks great!!!

I put a 92 T/A bumper on my 86 T/A and there is a difference. The newer cover is lower(for lack of a better word)and I wasn't able to use my old push pin things--looked good tho and you couldn't tell. To make yours fit right you have to use the donor crash mesh.
