GFX questions

I dont really like the ground effects on my car... they look so plain.
So i was wondering if the gfx's form the 91-92 models (the ones with the scoop looking things) will fit on my 87 without any modifications... are they easy to find, do the cost a lot more, would it look bad on my car... any info would be good.

Re: GFX questions

Im pretty sure that they will fit with no mods... well they will fit but im not sure if there is any other brackets used to mount them. But they will fit. They will look right on your car. Now i dont know how easy they are to find but hey they are around. I also assume they arn't gonna be really cheap. I bought a complete set of gfx and it cost me $260 and they were from a 85-90 car. but you can search on here and mabye get lucky. I have the sides under the door and on the doors from a 91-92 camaro on mine. I dont like them. They are just to rounded fro the square body style. Just IMO I am trying to put the stock ones back on. but yes i think it will look fine on your car. Good luck man. -Matt

Re: GFX questions

I know the 91-92 front spoiler uses tabs to mount on the fenders whereas the 85-90 uses bolt-plates to mount.

19Camaro, do you have any side pics of your car with the 85-90 front with the 91-92 side pieces? I'm having a heck of a time finding the 91 front for my 91 rs but can get the 85-90 from certifit for less than $100 new.

Re: GFX questions

i like how the front end looks clean and the rear end looks clean and sporty at the same time. i would say keep it the way it is but then again, to a 3rd-gen fan it looks like a hack job.

Re: GFX questions


Does it matter if the gfx came off of a RS or Z28? I noticed there is an indent around the badge and I was wondering if it is a different shape based on the different model.
