Hi, this may seem like a real daft question but as i dont have one to compare it to, i need to ask.
Is an IROC rear bumper the same as a 2.8 v6 bumper? Ie does it have a deeper rear skirt?
thanks for the help! Unsure in England Steve

As far as I know they are the same. As long as they are in the same ground effects bracket. Say 82-84, 85-90, 91-92 Same way with front bumper covers and I'm sure rear bumper covers. I could be wrong though.... I'll see if i can dig up any pictures for you to show you.

Alright this is 91-92 Z28 and RS style rear bumper cover.


This is 85-90 Iroc bumper cover


This is 85-90 RS bumper cover


And this is 82-84 style notice no lower lip like the 85-90's
sorry about this picture it's my 84 parts car and the only 82-84 picture i could find without to much searching




sorry if i used any of your cars and you don't approve pm me me and they will be removed.


Also feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Superb!
Ive just bought an iroc rear bumper from a guy in the us for $10 but i really wanted ro make sure that it has a "lower rear skirt" than my "normal" one, but hey at that price it probably doesnt really matter.

Thanks for the info and the pics are brilliant, seeing the difference is much easier and Camaros arent exactly common in CORNWALL, let alone the uk. In fact i havent seen another one down this part of the country!
