90 was the last year for T/A fender vents. The 85-90 vents are smaller than the 82-84 vents.

85-up nose will fit, you may need to modify or replace the impact absorber.

82-92 hoods will all fit.

91-92 stuff is different but you're not going that route. They changed from a 2-wire headlight motor to a 3-wire somewhere down the line, but if you're just changing the bumper you won't have to mess with the headlights.

It's going to look funny though if you have an 85-90 bird nose with the black bumper trim pieces in front and an 82-84 rear bumper without them. Just a thought.
