82 and 85 front nose? same of dif?
No one carries an 82 front bumper cover for my t/a, Nowhere! but every seems to have 85-90? whats the diff in the way the fit or mount? I really would love to paint my car, but with the nose thats on it, it would be rediculous to paint it, its all shrunken, wrinkly and does not match fenders at all. even at the top there is a 3/8" gap between the fender and the bumper cover.

ok i've done alot of research, It seems that the 82 came with front end with the big vents? correcT? mine has the deep front end, with the 2 small square holes at the bottom, did they offer that front bumper in 82? I am trying to find an 82 front end like that but everywhere i look it says that was 85-90 front end.. any help?

you dont have an 82 83 84 bumper cover then if it doesnt hvae the big insert cut outs in it
85-up will bolt on no problme but GFX holes are in a different location in the fenders between 82 83 84 and 85 up
good luck
