No they don't fit. You need to change the fenders front and rear and probably the hood and trunk lid.

Some people HAVE successfully swapped them before but not anyone on here that I know of.

yup.

so basicly the whole rear and front end.

oh and then you would need the door moldings since the chrome strip would be in the bottom instead of the front.

first gen.

91-95 Legend ones work too but you need to get the Legend front pinch forks.

get cusom rates if you can cause the RL is much heavier.
