Need a new fender. Will any thirdgen fender fit?

Just weighing all of my options before I finally buy my drivers side fender and paint it. Will an 82 firebird fender fit an 89 formula? If not, what years fit correctly?

Thanks.

It will bolt on yes BUT....

Depending on ground fx, the mounting holes may be different, or if you got the fender from a car without them, they wouldn't be there at all.

Or if it had them & you don't need them, you'd have to weld the holes shut & paint.

So it'll bolt right on, awesome. It looks like a base model firebird, no ground effects, but it has a powerbulge hood primered grey. I'm assuming that was just a replacement on the original car. Pics below, if it helps.
