85-92 Camaro front bumper cover differences?

I'm a Firebird guy so please bare with me. I've looked at alot of pictures of 85-92 Camaros and I know that the grill insert, chin spoilers GFX and maybe the foglights and there mounts are different. Heres my question, is the bumper cover and light bar its self the same from 85-92? Thx.

Are all lower chins interchangable between 85-92 if it was a GFX car? I have a 91 Z28 front bumper cover and just want to know if it will work on a 85 for example. I do not have the chin spoiler from the 91 Z28 BTW. Someone is bond to ask if I do.

yes all the actual bumper covers are the same from 85-92, except of course from the base model. but all Z28, RS, and IROC front bumpers are the same. and either chin spoiler will mount on it.

1. That has nothing to do with the bumper in question.

2. Don't cut those mounts off, cut the slots into the fender like a '91-'92 car.
