ok everyone, ADHD here, having trouble finding anything in a search. What I'm looking to do is swap out my 1990 front end(bodywork) for a 92-94. Wanting to get the fixed headlights, and the full hood (carbonfiber baby) mostly looking at aftermarket parts... So, has anyone done this, and what parts are involved in the swap?

So, has anyone done this? I had it at a body shop and they couldn't figure it out without ordering parts and starting to take it apart. I really like my car, and want to start buildiing it, but I hate the popup lights, and it needs a little bodywork in front anyways. I woould like to put a body kit on, and a carbonfiber hood also, so I thought that would be a good time to swap...

well other than the head lights dosenot seem like any of the other cosmetical pannels would not fit i say take the front bumper off and than see if there is a spot to mount the non-flip headlights if so there should be no issues.
