Rear bumper for camaro & T/A question

Will a GM rear bumper cover for a 85 z-28 fit an 82 TA?

Thanks

Someone is wanting to buy my GM B/C and I didn't know anything about a TA.

The ends of the camaro cover are square under the taillight where it meets the quarter panel. The T/A is rounded in the corner. There are probably also other small differences.

Should not fit. The Camaro bumper is probably a couple inches shorter.

It should bolt up but it definitely wouldn't work. It won't match up with the body correctly and a Camaro bumper doesn't have an area for a license plate.

We have bumpers available on our website if you need one.

He'd have no place to put the license plate, even if it did fit.

Might be good for a show car though, to eliminate the plate at shows.
