I need to replace the bumper and both fenders on my kid's 99 Convertible...
My question is: will the parts from a Coupe fit? |

The front bumper is a direct swap, but the front fenders are slightly different on a 'vert. The difference is underneath the body, right in front of the doors. I'm not sure what the difference is but it's my understanding that the fenders are interchangeable with minor modifications. As for the rears, coupes and verts are the same fenders and bumper but the liftback is different.

I think the difference in the fender is the bottom part behind the wheel.
the vert has a different shape due to the factory sideskirts that goes along the whole bottom as you can see in this pic. coupe and hatch don't have those sides.

Its a modification that a long time local member didnt want to do. But he modified the liftback fenders to fit his convertible
