By the pictures its the front bumper with the horizontal "tear" almost all the way across just below the turn signal / running lights. If memory serves me correct (buddy had an 82 waaaaay back in the day) what is coming apart is an air dam. The stock front fascia is behind the air dam and the air dam affixes to the stock front fascia.

well she don't look cracked i just like to keep extra body parts on hand for rainy days, just in case. the other thing i have fix right away is the tires which are dry rotted on some. i was thinking about going with a 225/70r15 but i think the front end of the car is sitting too low. She has 195/60r15 on her right now. i think maybe the last guy either just the springs or lowered the front end.

Cool. Always thought the 82 GT was a great looking 4-eye.

I would keep everything on that nose that you possibly can including the hood.
