Default 90's C4 bumper for a 84 Corvette?

Can you up date the bumpers on the 84 Corvette to 90's style?

Can the bumper cover just be replaced? Or does the inner support need to be changed too? Modifications of the car or new bumper?

Hard or difficult to do? Thanks

It bolts right up, though you need to trim alittle off the bottom of the 84 "egg crate" inner structure. Sometimes it's impossible to get the upper corners to align perfectly, but alot of the 90's don't align anyway (usually about 1/8" off due to shrinkage, fiberglass sometimes more from the different molds used).

If im right,you'll need to buy an "official replacement" for early style who wants the new style bumpers,remember the molding is not the same on the 90's style ...but if you buy the "official update replacement bumper" you'll get the early style molding on the new style bumpers like RICEKILA's

I hope i explain myself hehehe
