You will need the new front end, and impact bar because yours will not fit the older style. You will also need the front turn signals and a front wiring harness to get them working, or chop it up and splice it.

Re: 91 FireBird Front End Help

If the Firebird you are buying has the aero ground effects package, you will also need to replace the front ground effects where they meet the bumper, since they likely wont match up right, especially on the underside. The air deflector under the nose will need to be replaced too most likely, since the 91 model with ground effects is a 3 piece type with curved side pieces.
