BUMP for OP.
Are you asking about Bumper or Bumper Cover? FWIW I do not know.

It will fit, but the impact bar will be different and so will be the crash absorber.. youll need to grab those from the newer model

I think the side profile is be different. This may not mattrr
if you’re installing ground effects though. You’ll also need new headlight buckets. The 82-84 are more square and the later years are more curved.

Not to hijack, but what's behind the front bumper cover, of my 1989 IROC Z Vert? Metal, honeycomb plastic? Thanks.

This is what my car has behind the bumper fascia. This is a 1984 Trans Am. Not sure if later Firebirds / Trans Ams have different pieces.
