Fender/Bumper/Door differences '90 vs '92 model year
It is time to finaly get some new body panels and kick off the re-build since my wreck two years ago. What were the differences between the doors, bumpers, and fenders between the 90 and 91/92 model year changes. My research shows me that there are slight differences (longer?) in the front fenders for the 91 year when the GXF changed? Is this correct or can I use 91 or 92 fenders on my 90? I am under the assumption that the doors and bumpers are identical. I have the opportuniny to pick up both bumpers and a door really cheap and fairly close to me. I wanted to varify that a fender would be compatible with my model year.
Thanks in advance.

The doors and fenders are the same as far as shape there are some holes you have to drill for the 92 gfx that dont line up. I just aquired the rest of the 92 gfx for my 90 now I just need some1 to make me some cardboard templates or something to drill the holes i dont want to guess at it i want them exact. If any one has done the conversion or can make us some templates that would be great. The rear quarter peices have the holes in different spots also and the rear bumper bolts up the same. So everything needs new holes drilled except the rear bumper and the front bumper is the same. Oh the front gfx peice also bolts all up the same except on the fender where u have to cut slits I have the templates for that but i think ill get new fenders anyway. So the conversion is def not just unbolt then bolt up but you wouldnt have to buy any new sheet metal if you didnt want too.
