It will bolt up but will be a pain to make it look correct. All the inner workings that seal off to the original cover will not mate up to the later version. I have done this before and if you are looking for an OEM type look you will be changing and fabing a few parts. Just my .02

You have it easy will bolt right up, doing a 91-96 bumper upgrade on a 90 vette. Much harder not a simple bolt on with earlier ones 84-87, you need some custom made adaptors to secure the airdam spoilers. (bumper to the plastic splash guards) have been there and done that..

The rear bumpers and wide moldings etc are an easy bolt on. The 91-96 front bumper fits fine on my 85 otherwise!!!!
