GFX help plz
I am trying to put the 85-90 trans am gfx on my 83 t/a, but I cant seem to find all the info I need. The front and rear bumpers will swap, correct? I am just not sure if I need to swap the fenders? Any help/advice is appreciated

The '85-90 trans am front bumper are lower than the '82-'84 and the genders need to extend lower as well to match unless you want the front to be hanging lower than the fenders you'd have to match them as well

Ugh I hate typos !
if the front cover has the ground effects that extend to the fenders you'd just have to attach them is all.

Re: GFX help plz
The fenders are the same, but you wil need to make the holes for the gfx. You will also need the metal supports for the side skirts that attach to the rockers, 2 pieces each side, drill holes in the doors for those gfx, and drill holes for the rear quarter gfx.
The side pieces are the hardest part as the first bracket is welded to the rocker, then another support bolted to that. Also, factory used a retainer behind the door in the QP for the back end of the side skirt.

Re: GFX help plz
Can somebody post pics of what all is needed for the brackets under the body or what it's supposed to look like? I'm pretty sure my gta is missing some brackets or something because I don't have that liitle metal piece that shows a little bit under the side gfx when people post pics of their cars.
