GFX Swap???

Okay, you know the older camaros with the edgier GFX, well I was wondering if you could replace the old type with the three slots in them with the newer type???(like 88-92)

you have to drill more holes in the fenders to accomodate the newer gfx but I'm not sure about the bumper bar directly behind the nose I believe it fits b/c I put one on my car from an 84 SC. You also have to modify the bottom of the fenders to fit the wraparound portion on the bottom. Nothing a sawsall wouldn't handle

sawzall? what the hell are u telling this guy..

all u need to do is drill a few holes, as for the nose, u will need to change it to an 85-92 iroc/z28/ or 88-92 rs nose. and the rear bumper cover will need to be changed as well. everything else will bolt up fine with little or no modification, nothing a drill cant take care of...
