Fit? no. Bolt on? probably. Match up? probably not... You're talking about polar opposite ends of the spectrum. 82-84 are generally the same, 85-90, 91-92... When you start trying to go further than a few years you'll have more problems.

it will bolt on, but your ground effects will not match / line up and I think the impact absorber between the metal impact bar and the cover are different so that will have to be changed over / trimmed to fit etc... There's also a bunch of ducting / plastics under the bumper that I think are different on these models like air dam, etx...
