Yes, but you would need to change ALL the moldings for the doors and a new year matching front bumper to get that wide molding all around. You can go with a ZR1 replica bumper made with a thin molding from Ecklers/MAD/Vanacours. Or...I think someone here was trying to sell a white '86 rear bumper (Curtis629). He has also recently replaced it with one of those ZR1 replica bumpers and it looks awesome!

EDIT: OH.....just noticed you have a yellow '86....sell you mine with the spoiler already painted! hehe

they are all different.

Vanacours does not have a website. Give Curtis629 a buzz. He has an 86 rear bumper pretty cheap. To do the ZR1 job, you're looking to spend at least $400-500 and you'd still have to get it painted to match 16 yr old paint.

*plugs my bumper with spoiler again* hehe. Man I wish I can get someone to bite on that.... :D

I did call Ecklers and ordered all the parts!! I ordered the bumper and the light kit to go with it!!! It's not costing me a penny tho!! A kid ran in to me last week!!! I even sent the parts to the body shop to save on shipping! I had my hood and nose piece painting 2 yrs ago and he matched my paint perfect!! It's like a canarie yellow!! Man, I do like that style rear end tho!!! Plus I have more money to play with to buy some good deep throated mufflers, too!!!! :cheers:

Don't forget to post some pics when it's done. How about some before (before crash) and after pics for comparison.

Thanks and good luck :cheers: :seeya :flag
