81 regal to 87 grand national

[japc74]

I may be able to get a 81 regal and i was wondering what would it be too make it look like a grand national. Is it as easy as painting the bumpers getting the hood and trunk and thats it? The regal isnt perfect but its not far from being good looking. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks

I think there is wheel flares and rear spoiler that is also part of the GN that a regal does not have.

Fender flares were gnx only. GN did have gn only interior, & wheels. It would also have tach & boost gauge in gauge cluster. F41 suspension package and naturally turbo motor & modified 200-4r transmission.

did the GN use the same Front/Rear steel bumpers, like the Regals, but black? Or were they fibreglass?

Trim and bumpers were the same, except they were blacked out...

With a gel coat that dont stone chip.

is the front grill the same for all? like '81-'87 regal limited, gn, gnx?

I thought the corner/turn signal light's trim changed in '84-'87 a little bit?

'81

'84

Header panel, grill, front bumper fillers, headlight trim is different, years are 81-83 and 84-87.
Mentioned before the bumpers are blacked out, all chrome is blacked out, rear spoiler, taillights are different between 81-83 and 84-87 but will interchange.
Interior had the black and grey Lier Seigler seats as an option, and either a normal sweep style dash with a boost gauge or a digital gauge set with a boost gauge.
