Sports Coupe Front Bumper...

It leaves a lot to be desired. Just to be honest.


Has anyone put an Iroc/Z28 Front Bumper and GFX from 85+ on a Sports coupe. Just the front bumper GFX.


I have an 87 Camaro LT I'm working on, and my front bumper cover is now pulled and I have an 87 Iroc-Z GFX, just need a front bumper cover from an Iroc to do it but wondering if it'd fill out the front end at all and leave the rest of the Sports Coupe alone for body.


If you have or have any pictures from just that, please post and show. I don't know if I want to commit yet to fill that front end, or If it'd be way better looking with a full GFX set.

I wouldn't put just a gfx 85+ nose and no other ground effects, it just wouldn't look right. A better option is an 82-84 chin spoiler mounted on the sports coupe bumper. There was a picture on here a while ago with that combo and it looked pretty decent.

I did more than just the bumper and chin, I added all the GFX. I don't think it would look right if you don't do it all.

Looks really good.

But I really like the sports coupe style except the front bumper with that huge open spot. If I could work photoshop, I'd do that to determine what I like best.

Idk if I'm weird lol, but the ground effects kinda look too boxy to me for the body styling of a third gen.

I want to keep it a sports coupe with mine, but just fill in that open spot with the Iroc gfx.

Than this is what you should look into.......
