Getting 83 Trans Am soon and have questions

It's red and all stock with an LG4 engine and an automatic transmission. Only about 75000 miles on it, interior looks great (all black). It was in an accident on the front driver side so it needs all the bumper components, fender, and light assembly. My buddy had it looked at it and apparently the frame needs to be straightened too. Anyway here are some questions about fixing it:

  • Are all the fenders for third gen firebirds interchangeable? Finding the fenders with air extractors and without the mounting holes for ground effects is difficult/expensive. Could I use a firebird fender for it then cut a hole to put the plastic extractor in it? (It's not damaged)
  • What are the stock colors for that year? I want to paint it blue but I realized that I haven't really seen an earlier firebird like this in blue.
  • What is the comparability for the light assemblies/motors? I heard they switched the number of wires at a certain point so they don't all work. What kind would I need to get?
I guess that's all I have, if anyone cares I can get pictures up probably the middle of next week.
