Installing 91Z28 grill & fog lights on 90RS

Hello,
I have contacted several people and gotten different answers from all of them....I want to remove the louvered grill on my 1990 RS and install the 1991 Z28 grill w/fog lights.What modifications will be necessary to accomplish this?I have found the grill,lights,relay,etc but am assuming there are brackets required as well but cannot find them or any info as to where the brackets need to be mounted.

TIA

Been there, done it....

Its a direct swap, no mods really, unless you consider having to drill holes for the license plate bracket a mod.

Obviously, wiring & mounting brackets for the fog lights, but the holes are all already there.

I swapped the RS grille out for the Z insert. Just bought aftermarket lights.

I had my 92 back in 96, so getting stock lights was still $$$$$$$$$.

Re: Installing 91Z28 grill & fog lights on 90RS

yes its very easy what i did was actually with the fog lamps was i boought some blazer cheapos for now they looked OEM but i didnt have the bracket so i mounted the fog lamps a little farther back not to much and then put mesh in front of them 2 days later that saved me since i hit a little rabit and it was caught in the mesh all i had to do was replace mesh not to bad if i can ill take some pics of it and post them
