Re: Ground Effects

Yes and no. The front bumper wouldn't fit right with the different fenders/hood on the firebird. The door and rockers side ground effects would fit but would most likely require drilling. The rear bumper would probably work off the top of my head.

Re: Ground Effects

im just in the process of switching over to 91-92 ground fx and not much lines up with the factory holes in the sheetmetal you will have to measure and drill, they look great, but a pain in the a**
