86' front bumper different then 87'?

This is a pic of the outline of the bumper on a 87 turbo.



This is a pic of the outline of the bumper on my 86...


I would like to get this kit for my 86 gxl or a similar one. I was wondering how much trouble it would be to cut the fend to fit the bumber?

most of those aftermarket bumpers actually extend over the fender. That's why you see that body line there.
