no it won't fit. This isn't a stupid question, but it IS a really odd one. The 2nd gen is wider than the 3rd gen, and even if you could graft it on, you'd end up with an abomination that would look like total a$$.

Another problem is that secondgens have a subframe while thirdgens are true unibodies.

The guy who does my paint has a 95 front and rear end on his 70-something 'vette along with hand-made ground effects. It looks right at home.

I really don't know what to think when cars are mixed and matched though. I guess it's case-by-case...

Dude, just hit your local junkyards and find the parts you need. 3rd gen's are like a dime a dozen in the yards. So parts arent expensive. Trust me on this.
