It will fit, but your ground effects will be different. Bumbers on the 82-85 models have a slightly different lower spoiler that attaches to the bottom side, whereas later models wrap around the front.

Correct on most of that but it is the 82-84 MY that have the slightly different bumper covers.
Only the Z28s had the ground effects, unless some one added them. And I do believe that the 5th letter in the vin should be a "P" for the soprt coupe (Z28) and a S for berlinetta.
