Front bumper/nose swap question...

I have a '84 Z28 that I am rebuilding... It has the ugly (IMO) slotted lower front air dam. I was wondering if I can just swap out that piece or will I have to change the whole nose clip. I am wanting one from an '85 - '90 IROC. Similar to the '91 - '92 but without the air scoops...

I know pictures are worth a thousand words, so I attached some pictures... The first pic (Car1.JPG) is the front I have. The second pic (1988ChevroletCamaroIROCZJekyll&Hyde.jpg) is the look I want.

What do I have to do to get this done?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Front bumper/nose swap question...

you need the bumper cover too, notice how it's differernt around the turn signals and the grill, it's much more square. Btw is that yours? Get it out of the weeds and at least hose the poor thing off...

Re: Front bumper/nose swap question...

Yes, that is mine... This was before I bought it.. Now it is in my garage waiting on me to get money together for her face lift!! I got her for $150 with a clear title!! I also have a parts car (86 IROC-Z w/ no title) That is the only reason it's my parts car... LOL But it's missing the hood and front bumper, so that's why I asked... I was pretty sure I had to swap both, but just wanted to make sure. I also plan to put IROC fog lamps from my parts car on, plus some other amenities!! I am also looking for a rear hatch with the third brake light in the spoiler. (Or just the spoiler) I have two sets I could trade...

Do I have to change the inner support on the front bumper with the fog lights too?
