front valance question

I have an 1982 z28 camaro and I am attempting to purchase a new front valance. The problem I am having is that my valance doesn't have the holes that most 1982's I've seen and my turning signals up front look like 1985 and newer. I am not the original owner. could it be possible that I have a 1985 and newer front nose? can anyone solve my dilemma? I need to purchase a new front valance soon. Did Gm manufacture two different z28 front noses from 82-84? thanks jim

..that being said, sounds like a 85-90 front end, but if u could supply pics, that would give us an exact answer

Are you talking about the rectangular holes above the lic.plate.If so it could be a standard camaro bumper or berlinetteatype.Those models had different signal lamps than Z28s.Which DIDNt have the rectangular holes.If you have a Z then just buy a 82-84 Z bumper & swap your lamps.

the valance and front end look just like the one on your avatar. So I am guessing that it was replaced with an 85 and newer one.
