Re: What year has no gfx on rear bumper?

I'm no expert, but I don't think it's as much of an issue of "year" as it is "model" or trim level. I think the base Camaro in almost all years used a "plain" rear bumper cover.

I'll let one of the real Camaro experts set us both straight.
Oh, and Welcome aboard!

Remember though that if your's came with GFX and you remove them it will be evident. The front bumper may have a lip where the lower spoiler attached, the sides (doors and fenders) will have 1/2" holes and the rear fenders will also have holes.

Re: What year has no gfx on rear bumper?

Keep I mind:

If your going to swap the bumper covers from the "Z28" cover to the "coupe" bumper cover than you might also need to swap the impact bar "eggshell" impact cushion too. I know the eggshells' are different on the "z28" style and the "coupe" style impact bars,...... but not sure how compatible they are when used together because when I've swapped bumper covers in the past I always swapped the eggshell too.
