yep, should line up perfectly, If I remember right fenders were the same for all thirdgens, and since you can change an 87 to 91-92 GFX they have to fit, maybe you'll have an extra hole or two, but $5 beats $75 for a new one.

He's right. The sheet metal parts for all third gens stayed the same for each line
(i.e. Camaros all years and Firebirds all years). The various changes were all done with plastic.

You will need to drill 2 holes in the new fender for the side ground effect piece, and drill/cut some oval shaped holes for the front spoiler to attach to.

Other than that, it will be just fine.

One more small detail... I think the door molding pieces (door guards, etc.. whatever you want to call them) are a little different on the 91-92 cars than on earlier ones, so make sure to keep your old molding piece on the fender.

I just put a 91 fender, nose, and front gfx on my 87, so I know what needs to be done to make it all work... and its very little..heh.
