I wouldnt do it. Id consider a swap to the '82 GT nose though.
But the fenders are the same from '79-'90. Just the moldings are different.

Every time I hear about one of these changes I could puke!!! Leave the FOUR EYES as they are. If you want an Aero nose, go buy one! There are plenty out there. How stupid would you think someone was if they bought a Camero and started asking how hard it would be to turn it into a Trans Am. If you want a Trans Am, then THAT is what you should buy.

I would NEVER kill my four eyed fox...I'm the proud owner of an 86 GT Vert. Howmany 87-93's do you see rollin around compared to the number of 79-86's? No offense to the 87-93 guys though, I love those foxes as well...

i would like to do it the other way around...but i don't think anyone has ever done it. put a 4-eye front on a 87-93 notch or hatch.

lmao, you know what, to all the dumbasses who change the front ends, do it, make my four-eye go up in price, then after you make a half-assed attempt at it and comes out funny looking, you'll regret it, oh and the wiring is complety different also
