They should just interchange. Has your bumper been tweaked by an accident or anything?

The 2 seperate grilles only fit 82-84 Camaros and then there are 2 different sizes depening on if you have a z28 or a sport coupe/berlinetta.There are also 2 styles of long slatted grilles.One style fits 85-87 Camaros(non z28) and the other style fits 85-92 Camaros(Z28/Iroc,RS).Do you have a picture of the long slatted grille?

85-87 Sport coupes came with a 1 piece slatted grille which is different than the 85-87 Z28 & 88-92 RS 1 Piece slatted grille.
