GTA nose/bumper question

Im rebuilding a wrecked 87 L98 GTA. It was wrecked in the front and im looking for parts for it but wanted to ask, is there a difference between a typical Trans Am nose and a GTA nose? The main question is with the emblem. Is there a recessed area for the emblem or did they just stick an emblem on the generic Trans Am nose? I know the fenders are different and pretty sure the hood is different too

Re: GTA nose/bumper question

The noses are identical. The fenders are just base model fenders.

Yes, there is. Can get you a picture off of mine if you'd like...

Edit: Just removed mine for you. It's not recessed per se, there are just two factory holes, one for the positioning pin (like a dowel pin) to hold it in place and the other for the fastener...
