Hey all, I'm new posting here , but i've been reading the boards everyday for months...
just got my 86 firebird stolen , got the settlement money after almost 2 months ...
down the street is a blue 86 Ws6 T/A w/ t-tops and blue gfx, 167k k. original paint, been sitting in a backyard for 3 years, was used as a family car previously. Needs a fuel pump , battery and tune-up. But the guy wants to sell it for around $2000 CA.

The one thing im concerned about ,is that
the front spoiler on the car is missing a large chunk from the left side.

I was wondering how hard is it, and what is involved to remove :
A)just the front gfx(take off broken and install new)
B)all gfx around the car(take all gfx off temp. till i can get new)

I'd say it is pretty much irrepairable so, where can i get a replacement, and for how much (approx) (CA if possible)

Thank you for any response!

 

It would be extremely helpful if someone could give me some kind of response, i could not find what i needed in the archives, and i am pretty much waiting on this....

thank you

 

Try a junkyard, Classic Industries, Year One, a GM dealer, or any of the online dealers.

 

Thanks, i pretty much know where to a replacement, i just need to know if it is a big job to remove/install the gfx from the car, and the procedure.

Any more info would be great

 

On T/A's the gfx is an intergral part of the nose unlike camaros. While taking the nose off isn't the hardest thing in the world, it is time consuming mixed with a pinch of frusteration. The 2 main sockets you'll need is a 7mm & 10mm, some extentions an/or deep well sockets, small hands & some enjoyment of laying on your back doing contortionist moves. The hardest part is getting the bolts near the top of the fender where the nose meets it.
