GFX Problem I think

Well..I have an 87 Formula that has the aero package on it(as seen in pic)..I have an 88 GTA donor car that I took the nose and side gfx off of....I want to take the aero package off and put the 88gfx on but I think I may have a slight prob.....It seems that right behind the front tire,the piece may be too tall and overlap the vent(GTA's didnt have vents)...Has anyone ever done this?? Will this work?? Am I looking at it wrong???Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Yep, it should work. The GTA's and TA's have the same gfx. It will overlap a little, they are all like that. That car will look much better with the factory gfx, those sure look like an aftermarket setup. Hope this helps!

Nope it wont .... 85-90 T.A. had Vents to, but thay where Shorter than the 82-84 ones.... So you have to Change out the Vent to the 85-90 style So the GFX well work on your car....

In the pic you can see the 85-90 T.A. Vent
