It should, but it you have an RS that nose is gonna look pretty funky. Since the car has ground effects the lines on the nose wont' match up well.

Ya after reading a little and comparing images I see that...I don't know I just like the venting, maybe I'll just have the RS nose redone lol, or just drop the whole idea.

I really like the venting too, and the ground effects. Maybe you could find an aftermarket body kit that looks close to stock and just use the part for the bumper. I think it would look cool

I ended up going with full 92 RS bumper covers and ground effects. I got a good deal on a parts car that had them all intact and in good shape (can't say the same for the metal though- rotted to all hell)
