89-92 Camaro Fender on an 89 T/A GTA?

My daughter crashed my car into a tree and did a job on the passenger side front fender of my 89 Trans Am GTA. Does anyone know if an 89 to 92 camaro fender will fit, being that the GTA does not have a vent like the other firebirds?

no, Camaro fenders are totally different, front of the fender doesn't angle down enough.
you need to use an 82-92 Firebird fender.

Like Zepher said,
Also the Camaro fender has sharper edges around the wheel well opening.

Any Base Firebird or Formula fender should be able to made to work by drilling some holes and modifying slightly, I want to think there were some studs on the fenders too, but I may be wrong. Ideally you should try to find a GTA fender, but if all else fails...

Thank you for the feedback. I was hoping for a few more options, but it looks like I'll bite the bullet and find a GTA fender.
