Fender question...

I have a poorly fitting after market front fender on my IROC. I'm headed to the wrecking yard today to look around.


Is there any difference between an IROC front fender and a standard Camaro or Z28 fender? I imagine the Z28's are a match but not sure about standard Camaro fenders?


Thanks!

Re: Fender question...

Other than stated above - Difference is in lower ground effect mounting holes between the 91 - 92 aero style vs the 90 and down style.. easily addressed tho making any work..

Re: Fender question...

My problem is the hood touches the fender when closed. I am going to start prep for paint but this has to be fixed or it will chip the paint off both the edge of the hood and the fender. The fender I have seems to have a small lump right where the hood sits next to it in the closed position and I can't adjust the fender out any to create clearance. the factory fender does not have that lip..Weird..
