do 91 parts fit on an 84?

k, i'm buyign a bunch of parts off a 91 RS, to put on my 84 z-28,
here is the list:
- front nose
- ground effects
- big rear spolier (you guys know the one)
- entire interior(carpet, seats, etc.)
- rear brake lights
- tires & rims

k now my question is, are these parts gonna fit ok onto my car or am i gonna have some troubles, as far as i can tell they would all fit, i don't see any major changes the GM made with this sorta stuff.
keep in mind i am sort of a newbie when it comes to cars and whatnot, but i gotta learn somehow. so i just wanna knwo if i am going to have any probs or difficulties replacing my old stuff with this new stuff? and if so what can i do?
thanks
chris

Tires & Rims : yes
Tailights : yes
Interior : Depends, seats carpets, door panels = yes, dash & centerconsole is a yes but might take lots of work to function properly

Spoiler : yes, need to drill new holes
Front nose : Maybe, should be really close
Ground effects: maybe, I know for firebirds they altered the location of the holes for some of the different years, not surea about camaros

Awesome!
thanks man, that was my one worry abotu getting this stuff, didn't knwo if it would fit, i'm hoping the nose fits big time, cuz mines pretty chnked up from its last owner....i don't knwo why people suck at keeping those things nice and not hit stuff?
oh well, hopefully fitting close = fits perfectly...hehe

and if i have to make new holes for the GFX thats ok, i'm fine with that, my only prob is the spoiler part, cuz somehow i gotta get the old one off, i wish i had a pic, its the one just runs along the back and down the tail lights, the one you see on almost all camaros....now is that bonded on or bolted from the inside?
and if bonded how do i get it off, and in anyway that i don't ***** up the paint?....guessing that sort of a long shot...oh well big spoilers worth it...just need a paint job

anyways, thanks again

chris,
you might be well off to see what some others say about it, Some of these Camaro guys know just about everything you need to know...

The old rear spoiler is easy--each side is held w/sheetmetal kind of nuts-I think they're 10 mm--each side should have 2. On the driver side--reach through the cargo box(the cardboard box in the rear)For the upper piece-you'll have to pull out the plastic plugs--you'll see the nuts up in there--just unbolt them--that easy!

There are some tabs on the 91-92 grd f/x that will have to fit into slits in the fenders.some of the earlier styles didn't have the slits in the fenders.You may have to cut slits out in the fender.
