I would doubt that it would line up.......
I say so because the 4th gen nose is much more round in shape than the 3rd gen nose. But hey, try it out, and keep the rest of us posted.

That front end with a ram air 2 hood would look killer, maybe also with the t/a chrome 5 spokes from a 99-01 t/a

If I recall, there was a post about a month or two ago where someone had a t/a with a 4th gen front and those side louvers on the front of the door. It might have been a photoshop, but it might have been real becouse I remember them talking about bondo or whatever he used to do it. I'll try to find it.

I know there's one in every crowd, and let me be him. If you guys want to look like 4th gens, just buy one.
Personally, I am a fan of the 3rd gens, and thier looks.
Just my $.02

1985 Camaro z28 305 engine T-5 Five Speed Tranny, 92 Camaro Leather Seats Console, carpet everything. Soon to put in 700R4 and 427CI. (Hopefully.
To view my car go to:
