Will 78-79 rear bumper cover fit an 80?
Always liked the ACI Collectors rear wing look with the smooth fall away bumpers of 78-79, but like the 80-82 lower swooping nose better. I see 80 projects on CList all the time needing front/rear covers so i figured "how hard would it be to have the best of both"
Also, dont like the 80's front bumper conversion kit for the 78-79's with all the fender cutting etc.
So would it bolt on?

I'm with you in preferring the look of the 78-79 rear bumper cover over the 80-82 version. The 80-82 rear bumper cover bolts on to 74-79 cars so I assume there would be no problem putting a 78-79 rear bumper cover on an 80.

They fit as good car to car as any bumper cover swap,
And the wing changes the look drastically to me, makes me actually like the 74 to 79 tail,
Be sure the legs for the wing are not made to fit against the 80 rear spoiler,
Not that it matters but people will likely think you did the 80 front to an eariler car...
