Euro Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 wow..longest sentence ever. I'm outta breath cause there was no stopping point lol but back to your question, I believe the fenders are different, since the 4 doors didnt have the mini quads and the coupes do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well it would be more than just the headlights changing it. lumina 2 and 4 door clips are the same... or course. CS 2 and 4 door are different. regal? :shrugs: GP. well the hoods are the same iirc. and the lines on the fenders are the same too, so I think they are the same. I think only the header adn bumper are different. any verification anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted To Boost Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 91- newer GP 2 doors don't have side markers, 4 doors do have side markers- the fenders are different because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GPSTE Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 That is NOT correct. The fenders on all 1988-1996 Grand Prixs are exactly the same regardless if there is a sidemarker or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 91gpste is correct. the side marker, the front clip plastic bumper, and any other front end stuff fills the little corner there... I'm gonna have to check an interchange manual to double check, but they appear the same at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 i would think that the sedan one is shorter in length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 why would you think that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 it probably just looks that way because of the B4U flair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 That is NOT correct. The fenders on all 1988-1996 Grand Prixs are exactly the same regardless if there is a sidemarker or not. Exactly. The area for the side turn signals is replaced/filled in by the front bumper cover on the mini-quad equipped GPs, not by a different fender. The only problem you're going to have is there won't be any pegs to mount the B4U fender flare onto, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I think the seam shape next to the door is different. Definetly check with Hollander Interchange. Better yet you can just check with http://www.car-part.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 they are different, but the appear very very similiar. an interesting note about something similiar. 88-91 CS coupes and 92-97 CS coupes have different fenders. but, the exterior skin is identical. the only part that is different is the substructural portion that holds the corner marker light/turnsignal!

91GPSTE Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I am pretty sure they are the same because a buddy of mine put a 2 door nose on his 4 door and it fit without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 hmmm, well I'll be darned. I just always thought that they would be a little different to account for the side shape being overall different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 yeah, the nose is interchangeable. In fact, I think the front section of the fender's sheetmetal is the same shape. Just the back half of the fender (like where it meets the door) is different. That's enough to make it not useable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I find that odd, only because they are not shown as interchangeable. I know Cutlass Coupe fenders mismatch on a sedan for just that reason. So what could the difference be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I think Grand Prix and Lumina are the only 2 W's whose fenders, hoods, and trunklids can interchange between coupe & sedan. I could be wrong, but for some reason I always thought that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RareGMFan Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Now I'm curious. Though I can't imagine, as cheap as GM is, that they'd make a completely separate fender that's only a hair different. Too bad the weather is so horrible here. I'd go to a junkyard and find out for sure, and then keep the fender to fix my TGP. I have a spare fender off the TGP I parted out a few years ago. It's not a B4U fender, though. The wheel flare was GLUED on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GPSTE Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 GM has same part number for both coupe and sedan fenders for 88-90 but different for 91-96. I am willing to bet that the only difference there is probably a couple of extra holes for screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to bet that the only difference there is probably a couple of extra holes for screws. might be that same as I pointed out on the CS. the subtrutcture internal of the fender is different, but the skin is the same. Yeah, you can interchange the entire clip if this is the case. it all bolts on as a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I think Grand Prix and Lumina are the only 2 W's whose fenders, hoods, and trunklids can interchange between coupe & sedan. actually, I think the trunlids are different. I heard someone say a while back that they just tried to swap trunklids instead of swapping spoilers, and the coupe lid didnt fit right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember someone saying they tried it, but I can't remember who. I thought it was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
