Will the '87 up trans-am clip bolt up?

I had the older front clip which isn't to cool lookin now I'm gonna put a trans am front bumper cover on but will it bolt up easily.
Iwill also have to put the ground effects on to and matching rear bumper cover.

An 87' front clip from a transam will fit an 87' base model firebird or an 87' formula firebird. So will the front clip from an iroc or chevy camaro for that matter.

And the '87 clip will fit on an '82 or a '92 or anywhere in between. Just please don't put Firebird pieces on Camaros; we don't need any more camarobirds than I've seen already

Hell yeah, it does... I've seen a few in NJ.. those people should be shot. Or, well, maybe they should just be laughed at. There's one Camaro I've seen a few times in parking lots that has Firebird center caps on it's IROC wheels. Ugh.

Yeah I have seen a few of those. Its like they can't make up their mind. Though I guess I should not be talking I have the 91-92 Z28 side gfx on my Firebird. That and I just completed my new spoiler which uses the late 3rd gen camaro rs spoiler. (Not sure of its years I think I was told 89-92. Its the one that only goes on the deck lid and does not overhang the fenders.) Pics are getting developed today. I mounted a base bird spoiler to it. I know I'm gonna catch crap for it, but it really is cool looking. It took the look of my old spoiler and raised it up about 2 inches. that and it got rid of the boxy 3rd brake light in my old spoiler. The RS spoiler has a nice long flush mounted style.

Honestly it looks good.
