The hood support will be different but other than that should bolt right up and the doors will not have the block molding on them

The door moulding is different. On the early models the trim is a black rubber strip. In the later years the trim is molded into the doorskin.

Yes it will fit, but the doors will look funny.

Thanks for the info. The reason I asked this question was Im getting a great deal on some 96 body parts which include the front and rear bumpers. The bumpers I know will fit. What was questionable was the hood and doors.

Thanks again :cheers:

The moldings can be changed to match the later style, there's alot of these cars running around. Front & rear clips, & side moldings from the later C4's, installed on earlier cars.
