83' fenders on a 91'?

I can get a good deal on some 1983 T/A fenders for my 1991 firebird, I want the fender louvers, but I noticed on a parts site that the 1982-84' fenders are listed seperate from the 1985-92 fenders, My question is does it really make a difference? I'm looking at photos of both and it looks as if the 83's are a bit more "creased" so to speak at the body line...I'm also getting the front/rear bumper covers from the 83' so I'm not worried about mating 91' facia to the new fenders.

As long as you're changing to an 82-84 front bumper you won't have any problem.

The only difference is the top mounting hole on the front of the fender and it won't be an issue as long as you change to an early bumper as well.
