Berlinetta Bumper on a 92?

I recently got a 92' 25th ann RS, I prefer the Berlinetta bumper over the one I have right now. I am curious if I was to find one for sale if it would bolt right on or if I need other parts IE crash bar/fenders?

Re: Berlinetta Bumper on a 92?

it should line up fine to the existing sheetmetal....but if ANYTHIG the impact bar / absorber might be specific.

I think the crash bar is the same from 85-92 camaros

Re: Berlinetta Bumper on a 92?

I hope you have no plans to sell the car. Doing that bumper swap is a look that 99% of the general public will not like the look of. That and it will make it look like the car was wrecked in the front and you were too lazy to put it back together with the correct parts.

With that said it's your car, so you do you.

Front bumper was the worst part on the Berlinetta, car looks great as it should be.
