Leave it all on!!!!! They look ugly as hell without it.

Diabolical

it would look exactly the same as an 85-87 with no gfx. you would have to fill in all of the holes, plus you would have a problem with the front and rear bumpers. for the rear, you would have to get a non gfx bumper, or deal with the fact that it sticks out and hangs over where the rear quarter gfx were. the front end, you would also have to get a non-gfx front end, leave the front spoiler on, or take it off and have it look obvious that it's missing a piece. If you're really interested in doing this, I have a non-gfx rear bumper in great shape, and a front end that could be fixed.

Personally.....I think the base Camaro looks kind of ugly....it sets up all high and the front nose...u...g....l...y....they just don't have that low agressive stance....My favorite ground effect package is the 91-92 RS/Z28's....the look bad as hell. But these are just opinions......so guys with the standard Camaro's...please don't get mad....after all....if it's a Camaro....it's the best!:rockon:

Randy82WS7

I always hated the 82-84 base camaro nose. Here is Pic of the 85-87 base camaro nose.

Randy82WS7

hey wow the Z28 nose fascia with no body ground effecyts does look prety neat, hmmm
makes it kinda sorta in a way look more like the second gen style, at least to me anyways.

hmmmm !

anyone got a closer shot of a Z28 with some/most of the gfx removed ?

bj350hp does yours hve the rear quarter effects on still ? i cant hardly tell, thanks!

Actually thats not my car, but that camaro is just a base camaro with the 82-84 Z28 nose, so it's got the base camaro Rear Bumper. If you take off your gfxs you're gonna have to get a base camaro rear bumper and take off the side GFX on the rear quarter panel. Getting a base camaro bumper is not hard, just go look at some junk yards. I'm sure that they well have a base camaro or 2

Randy82WS7

very true, hehe, i just had an 84 firebird S/E i could have taken rear one from, but i let the car go to scrap, but i dunno if it would have fit on the camaro., hmm.. oops.


wil 85-92 rear bumper covers fit/work on 82 84 ?

thanks!

Randy82WS7

anyone got a good pic of a base camaro rear lower quarter panel that shows how the base bumper cover looks ? are they actually shorter in height than a Z28 one or just different design appearance and same size ??

heres a nice in ur face shot of the 82 z28 gfx.

Randy82WS7

need pic of rear side wraparound part of the rear base camaro style of bumper cover, for comparison to gfx style purposes.


thanks

Ah i can do that lol

Randy82WS7

thanks!

so is it just an illusion that gfx rear covers are taller than base ones ?


it looks like- by unbolting my last gfx piece in front of rear cover- i should have damn near the same appearance as a base camaro back there ? not much different at all really from what i can tell by looking at pics and inspecting closely on the 84 Z28 out here. my rear bumper cover comes dow to bottom of rear quarter panel and stops at the tail of it also just like it seem the base one does in the above pic, wouldnt have much of a different appearance at all if i rmeove my last gfx piece and retaiend use of the Z28 bumper cover.

or am i missing something ?



thanks

The bumper is indented where the GFX should be, so it's not coming out of the Bumper, it's going in.

Take a look at this pic, you can kind of tell that its indented. It's not a great pic. Best thing i can tell you is go to a junk yard and look at a base camaro Rear bumper, or if you see one around town stop and look at it.

And here is the bumper you have.

Like I said these pic really don't help you, you have to see it for yourself to know what I'm talking about.

Makaveli

!! if that car was hardtop it would be what mine looks like, i never saw one before besides mine lol same color scheme, interior, wheels, etc hehe

Randy82WS7

hm very interesting, yeah i think im only gonna be able to understand this by seeing base model in person, hmm

the bumper covers are all same heght from bottom edge up to to the top side of them, right ? it looks like they would have to be..



im thinking iit stil may not look horrible if the front and rear bumper cover gfx pieces were left intact and if the rocker panel and door bottom pieces were removed., hmm.,


thanks

fast83camaro

just a pic of my 83 sc front end...

Randy82WS7

howcome your parking lamps look so narrow and tall to be 82-84 ones ? dont tell me there were also different parking lamps made in same years also ??

bj350hp

iTrader: (1)

Haha, yes everything is different. 82-84 Z28 nose had different ones, 82-84 base camaro different ones, and the base camaro 85-87 nose had different ones. The only parking lights that where same are the 85-92 GFX cars. They used the same parking lights from 85-92

Randy82WS7

wierd, so only real way to know if a car is 85-up or not is by taillights, then hmm., damn.

whats an SC considered to be ? base ? sport ?

what about berlinettas ? base ?


as far as front noses are concerned*

fast83camaro

Sport Coupe is considered to be the base model, then the berlinetta, then the RS in the later years, Z28, and of course the Iroc-Z.

But, I consider the SC to be the best for racing, mainly because it was not as well optioned, and didn't have ground effects so it was lighter.

Randy82WS7

Cool deal, that straightens it out pretty well

haha! I like your car man, its clean, just the way I like camaros.

Nazzz28

I always liked the look of third gens with ground effects, because
it gives the illusion of the car being lower to the ground. However,
those are some nice looking sport coupes in this thread.

Hey nazzz28, those 91-92 Z28/RS rims look good on your Z! Never seen an 82-84 style with them...and I like it!
