will it fit?

will a front driver side ground effect from a 1982 trans am fit an 87 trans am? I was going to compare numbers on the parts but the number is missing on mine... along with about 3/4 of said ground effect...

82s didn't have gfx. First year was 83, and 85-90 are completely different. So... No?

Re: will it fit?

The GFX are different, if anything 82 has that little front fender piece that was part of the......ummm that bottom part under the bumper.....and that little piece in front of the rear tire. Ypu can get those from knight rider replica sites though.


Like Drew said 83 had the thinner GFX compared to the newer models..... Those won't fit though as the mounting is different from 85 on.
