will a 91 and up rear bumper fit on my 89' coupe fairly easy or would it even be worth the trouble? im not a big fan of the corvette on the rear bumper sticky out on my 89'. thanks

Lots of threads about this so if you can search on it you will get a more complete answer. But yes, it is a direct bolt on, though you may have to shave the corners of the inner "egg crate structure", unless you are using the one from the 91. Most people don't paint the body line on the 91 bumper to match the molding on the 89. I've seen both, and either way looks good (to me).

i plan on painting my car black with red GS hash marks and instead of
the 3-d letters on the rear bumper i wanted the c5 like lettering and i
was going to have it done in red. also i wanted the square tail-lights.
