anything between 82-92 will fit. just depends how much fabrication you want to do. Bolt holes might be different so you would have to drill new ones and fill up the old ones. plus are you just doing the rocker panels? what about the rest of the ground effects package? just think theres more to it then a simple yes or no. know what i mean?

92 aero panels

I'm doing the same thing. 92 front piece and side/door panels on my 89 Iroc vert. Body shop called and have a problem with fit. I hope it's just a matter of redrilling the bolt holes. So they must fit, right?

I put 91 side ground effects on my 88 that had ground effects already. I had to do some fab work/mods to make it fit. I don't have pics of the mods on my webshots page but I do have all the pics on my PC. If you need them, when I get home next week I can send them to you.

mods to make them fit..
Hole on fender had to be drilled larger, around 3/8" and use a large washer behind the hole

there's a metal pc. along the rocker that the ground effect sits on, and screws to under the bottom. At the rear of that metal flange I had to cut a small portion off to let the 91 GFX go all the way against the car.

Under the bottom of that I had to drill all new holes for the small sheet metal screws to fit cause the 91 GFX has the holes around 1/2" off from where my 88's was.

At the 1/4 panel, I had to drill a new hole for the stud on 91 GFX to fit through.

If I remember right, the part on the door needed no mods to fit.
