Default 84 front license plate filler

I was wondering if anyone knew if a filler plate from 91-96 will fit on an 84 front bumper?

You might check with the various sellers. Corvette Central sells
the plate cover for 1991-96, and 1984-90 as different items.

the 91-96 filler plate is shaped differently and does not fit properly. the 84-90 filler plates work on the 91-96 but the shape is incorrect.

I have an early and a late one in my garage. I lined them up.

I don't think they will interchange.

The tabs at the top are in different locations.

The height of the main section (top to bottom as installed on the car) is about a 1/4 inch different. The early is a little taller.

The lower tabs and screw holes appear similar.

The shape is different on the face, so even if it fits it may look odd.

You really need the correct one. GM # 14049269





The '91+ has holes in the mounting tabs on the upper and they're seperated by maybe another 1".

Google (images) this --- 10285647 GM
