3rd gen front bumper and spoiler

Does anyone know if a front bumper and spoiler from a 91-92 Camaro fit on a 85 Camaro?

Yes. Ground FX will be mismatched, but it’ll bolt up.

Re: 3rd gen front bumper and spoiler


This is my issue, the bumper lines up

But the front spoiler is shorter

Previous bumper and spoiler. The year on the back of the white bumper is a 91


This is the one I am installing as the white one has damage to the driver side and not sure it can be fixed. The year on this one is a 86

Make sure the nose is up snug against the front of the fender and everywhere else. You may need to loosen up the chin spoiler and adjust it a bit.

When swapping body panels from one car to another it’s common to have to make adjustments for alignment.

I’ll try to loosen and adjust the spoiler. By looking at the photo the new black bumper sits flush on the fender. I’ll try removing and adjusting the spoiler.
