Grilles question.

I am new to the 3rd gen world, loved the cars for years but just now got one. I am more of a 3S guy but I was wondering if the newer style grille with Camaro worded on the front would fit in a 85 Z28. I know they are all pretty much the same but I don't want to buy it and be disappointed. I was going to cut the grille I have now to add fog lights but I won't have to do any cutting with the new style. Thanks

The IROC/Z28 style grille? Yes, I believe it will fit.

Direct replacement. I did the same with my 92 RS and replaced the louvered grille with the open bow-tie grille. The IROC and BOW-TIE grilles are the same except for the "CAMARO" worded on one and the red Chevy logo on the other.

Re: Grilles question.

The "Camaro" grill came in both silver and gold, should you be interested in color options.

Re: Grilles question.

Alright cool. I was really hoping it would. I like the look of the grill with the word Camaro on it better than the louvered one it came with. Thanks guys
