pretty much all body panels from the third gens are interchangeable, but i would suggest staying as close to the year of your car as possible, for instance the front bumper covers did change from 82-92, three times i think, so youd have to find the right ones to get the same piece.

If your lucky you could find an 82 or 83 z28 hood. Some of them were fiberglass from the factory but they wouldnt have a 2inch cowl.

Just go out and buy yourself a 2" cowl scoop from ebay or something and put it on yourself, you will save a ton of money that way. I got one from ebay for $40.00 shipped.

i dont like the way the hood scoops that you put on yourself look on cars. the ones that i have seen never looked good and you could tell that they were do-it-yourselfers. i personally would recommend getting a hood in whole...

yes tardsters hood didnt come out bad at all but i will make the suggestion of that if you do just buy a fiberglass scoop try to get a fiberglass hood factory or otherwise that way they should blend together better and should have a longer life. :2cents:
