Front Fascia

I have an RS, you know, the one that has a black grille. my question is where can i get the one thats open and it says "CAMARO" in the middle, and usually theres a fog light set up. im sure yall get the point. can i just bolt that one up to my RS? and where are they available???

Yes, it will bolt right on, and they can be found in numerous places: ebay, classic industries, year one, etc.

Ah sweet. is the correct way to label it as a Z28 front end right? i checked in the year one catalog and it says it but theres no picture so it was kinda hard to tell. just wanted to make sure.

Here is where I got mine: http://moderndaymuscle.com/inc/sdetail/852. I believe it is an IROC style grill, but I am not too sure on that.

Yeah, the "camaro" one is correct for the earlier models (I believe pre 90) and the bowtie one was on the later models. however, they are identical so they fit any model.

Re: Front Fascia

yes it look's , fit's like stock . much better look than the louver's . secures a little different but no big deal . when you get the new one , compare and you will see . upper mounting screws the same , lower ones on the sides of center section . i put 2 extra ones ( 1ea ) on both sides of center section . like i said , easy job .

I actually made my own brackets out of some spare flat earth-quake brackets my parents had in their backyard, then drilled 2 holes in each and got some bolts from Home Depot... I didn't attach the brackets to the grill part only because I didn't want to cut holes in it.

I couldn't find any pics that I have, but I will take some tonight

Re: Front Fascia

Here you go... Sorry about the bad looking front... I got into an accident a while back and am in the process of repairing the front end. The front gfx was broken during the accident so it fell off... I know, it looks like crap.

I tried to get a picture of the brackets that I made, but I couldn't get a clear shot of it without taking off the fog light and I didn't want to do that today (not enough time)...

Anyways... good luck with your swap, it was really easy. I wouldn't have put the front plate back on, but I got a fix-it ticket for it (damn California...)
