Looks like somebody's custom job with the decals and all. Hard to tell if it's a replica(with the police stuff added) or a real B4C with decals added. Either way it's got the wrong hood on it.

Ya, it's an early 82-84 Z28 hood. Not the correct flat hood a B4C would have. Someone probably swapped that hood for the original.

I've got a real '92 B4C that was a former Colorado State Patrol car. They added 4-pt. roll cages for safety and my car still has its cage installed.

Grille is correct I believe, that's the 91-92 style. GFX are the earlier style, as are the rims. The B4C would have had the 91-92 16" rims right?

The B4C used the RS grill and the 16 inch Z28 wheels.

Correct. You can't see the grill very well in my photo, but it is the standard horizontal slat RS grill. The grill in the photo that's the topic of this discussion is the Z-28 grill with the red bowtie...not a B4C grill.
