Long story short, my front end got hit. Only body damage though from all inspections I've done.
Now, I asked about doors a while back, but I wanted to double check everything p-n-p has yet to have my year, but always others, plus I know someone with a 93 rs that I can get from them. Are body parts swappable between all years / makes? I know engine and other components are not, but I don't thiing there was ever a change in bolt pattern or sizes on body.
Mainly these items:
Hood
Bumper support
Bumper
Top radiator support
Marker light / turn signal
Head light structure. (I'm ordering new Halo projectors w/ HIDs conversion so I'm not worried about the actuall head light assembly, just the supports behind)
Thank you for all who answer, and sorry if its already been discussed prior. I could only find eng and other components that swap and nothing on body.

Yup, all body components that are bolted on interchange.
The piece under/in front of the rad support that also goes over the headlights is welded in, but its non-structural, so you're just going to have to kinda bend it back into place.

Re: Someone smashed my car... :(
Awesome! Thank you. The bar that needs replaced is the one over top the rad that holds the hood latch. I thought it was a bolt on but it wouldn't be hard to torque back in place and just replace the latch. Again, thank you for the info. Saves some time, money, and trial n error.

yea as far as i know, everything's plug nd play.
Re: Someone smashed my car... :(
the only problem with used body parts is the car settles slightly different so it is difficult to get everything to line up perfect (or maybe body work isnt my thing), but its not hard to make it look decent good, and since you were in an accident some of the supports may have slightly adjust. when my I changed my hood after my collision the piece that locks the hood in place was pushed 1/2 inch further up so it wouldn't lock, after taking it off and putting a few washers on to take up the space with longer bolts it worked just fine.
