Well it is possible, but it depends on what you want. All you have to do is unbolt the front piece and the gfx. I think that the gfx on the sides there are a buncha little screws and 2 larger speed nuts into the fender and a set into the quarterpanel. They should slide right off then. The front gfx on the nose is held on by like 40 ltille bolts and 2 brackets, the brackets are on the sides and the bolt run right along the front. Look iunder the car and you''ll see'm. As for the nose im not sure what u need to do but i'd imagine that all you need to do is get a berlinetta one and put it on by removing the old one and such... hah ,,, well i hope i could help ya more but this is what i know so far haha hope u find what u need

On my 82 the rear ground effects are bolted through the lower quarter pannel, and if you take them off you will have holes there,

you would have to get a berlinetta bumper (i have one if you're insterested) and front end. the rear quarter gfx bolt through into the spare tire area and the same on the other side. the rocker gfx have a bunch of screws through the top and bottom, 2 screws behind the z28/iroc emblems, and one that you have to remove the panel next to the rear seats. i don't remember if the door gfx go right through the bottom or if it's more complicated than that. once you remove them, you will obviously have to fill the holes, and there is a rail on the door sill that should be removed. sounds like way too much work.
