Parts are interchangeable but you may need to swap the front fenders as well. Not sure the 84 fender lines will match up to the 92 nose. 85 and up are fully interchangeable.

Re: Need help.

You can swap all the skirts but you may need to drill 2 holes in the lower part of the fenders and the rear quarters

84 here!
Yes you can swap out the front bumper and add the GFX. You will need to cut a couple slits on the fenders for the front skirt. No biggie though.

Re: Need help.

I swapped front bumpers on my 3rd gen. Had to drill the holes out a little larger to make it fit perfectly. Took a decent amount of time and effort to make sure both fenders had the same gap with my fiberglass hood. Started out at almost an inch gap on the passengers side. was able to get it closed up to virtually no gap. With a little tender love and some patience, front bumpers and fenders are able to be swapped
