I have parts that an 88 owners needs that I will sell but I removed them from a 85 parts car I used to have. Are these all the same (84-88)?
Thanks Marc

I hate to give BS tech since I don't officially know the answer, but I think the "First Part Listed" that you have is the same across the board, but the "Second Part Listed" is dependent upon whether or not it's a fastback, "2m", and "Coupe" style...

Maybe? I don't see how the body style would make a difference for these type of parts. If anything, I could see the 88 front suspension would make them different.

So, if I remember correctly, that flat piece extends off the front of the bottom of the other piece. A few things attach to it, includeing the brackets that hold up the underside of the nose. The panel itself might not be different, but the little bracket that extends off the center of it is definitely going to be different (or if used at all).

It's been a while... maybe someone else can chime in and confirm / deny.

Good points and thanks for your input!
I've ask this question in the past and never received a definitive answer.

The radiator support is different on the 88 due to the front suspension forward mount locations.

Good to know! That was my guess. THANKS
How about this part?

I'd like to know if the top shroud is any different as well. I imagine it wouldn't be because it's not attached to any of the suspension or frame.
