Re: different front clip

Headlight motors/Headlight doors/Headlight relay (just grad the whole assemblies)

Bumper support MIGHT be different *my buddys 91 looks different than my 87)

I think the fenders are basically the same, but the ground fx might have different mounting holes & slots)

91/20 fender front ground fx are EXPENSIVE & hard to find. Keep that in mind if they ever need replacing, or the deal doesn't include both sides

Personally, I like the 85-90 nose better (without the black bumper inserts)

Re: different front clip

The headlight doors themselves are the same, it's just the bezels that are different.

If you don't have GFX on either car, I say go for it. That's a good price for everything you'll get.

Nope.....91/92 have PONTIAC embedded in them, the earlier ones don't.

Dunno if they are interchangeable or not, but they aren't the exact same.

Different bezels, different head light bulbs, different turn lights....and much more.

What I meant was, the doors are interchangeable.
