Default Fender myth...

Im about to pick up a 95 coupe but i have seen a shortness of them in the junkyard. I will be needing a new radiator support, both fenders, hood and a drivers door. I have heard rumors about eg hatchs and sedans body panels fitting (the ones i need for the most part) Can anyone clarify this myth for me? It will greatly influence my decision to purchase this car.

Thanks, Joe

92-95 coupes and hatches are the same from the doors forward (all the parts you asked about). Most parts are available through eBay or some local shops. The radiator core support will be the hardest to locate and replace. You can find them on eBay for about $130 shipped, and you might want to check out Body Parts of America, on N Florida Ave, for all the parts you need.

I have replaced the front end on my coupe. The hood was $140, fenders $69ea, bumper cover $45, radiator support $135. My car was a DX, so I converted over to power doors from an EX that I bought from here ($140). There arent many 92-95s in the u-pick salvage yards, but parts are everywhere if you look around.

the 2 door coupe has alot of similar parts, and that is probably where you'll get the most parts. the sedan has very few parts that will swap, like the armrest, radiator bottle, wheels, but not the major stuff.

Hey, joebobclark, are all those parts and prices you mentioned for parts you purchased that were new? What makes you say that the radiator core support will be the hardest to find? Is Body Parts of America a supplier of only new parts?
I apreciate all the help

Yeah, those are what I payed for the the parts when I redid my coupe. That was almost 2 years ago now though, so the prices might be higher now. I ordered my radiator support from eBay and the rest I got from BPA. They are new aftermarket "OEM Style" parts. I didnt have any fitment problems and the quality is good.

The radiator support will be the hardest to find "used", and it is tack welded to the front of the frame as well as bolted, so removing a used one without damaging it will take some time. I would suggest buying I new support to make sure it is striaght and ready to install. The fenders, hood and bumper cover, Im sure you could find used and in good condition.
