85 z28 detailing questions

I got an 85 sport coupe im restoring into a z28. I've been collecting ground effects for it, and I wanted to know if z28's came with ground effects, w/out being an iroc. also, will my berlinetta front clip match the ground effects and z28 refurnishing? Would a z28 decal stripe kit be legit on ground effects? I'm probly gonna paint it a dark metallic blue w/ the metallic blue stripe kit, i nearly have all the body work done, so I kind of gotta know. Any other details I'm missing in making it completely into a z28? Should I pick up a gridded set of rear lights? The more info, the better...

I hate seeing fakes.

If I were you, I'd smooth over the badge areas on the ground effects and don't "fake it" with z28 badges. Ground effects look great, and you can still have the look without trying to fool people.

But anyway... you're going to need a Z28/IROC/88SC/89-90RS front bumper cover as well as a Z28/IROC/88SC/89-90RS rear bumper cover. The rear bumper cover has the ground effects molded in, and the front one is totally different and designed to have the lower valance bolt to it.
