Most of the aftermarket bumper covers say what they fit. Contact Customer Services of the vendor who is offering the one you want and ask. They may want a catalogue number.

Do you mean the Greenwood Daytona? I think they stopped making those kits in 1981, but if you need less ground clearance, you can find kits to add the front skirt.

Or the Ferrari Daytona Spyder build on a C3 chassis, like the one used in "Miami Vice"?

That should fit an 80-82, yes. Call them if you are uncertain.
It will not fit into some driveways, or over some speedbumps, so be very sure you really want this first. I've scraped my stock 80 front bumper a few times.
