Default Difference in body styles...

Can anyone tell me whether or not I can use other years' (93-96 I'm assuming) body pieces (ie: the drivers door panel) to replace a few of mine that are slightly damaged - as opposed to having the damage repaired?

Were there any body style changes I'd need to look out for if, say, I went to a Pick & Pull?

Thanks much.

The front fenders, bumper, headlights, headlight support, fog lights, etc are all different between 93-97 and 98-02 but from the doors back they're the same from 1993-2002. So, yes you can take a door from a 93 and put it on a 2002. Interior panel and wiring will be different, but the skin and shell are the same.

^ Thinking the same thing. Difficult to answer if we don't know.

He has a 97 RS.

frontend is the same for 93-97 and 98-2002, doors are the same 93-2002, rear hatch is the same 93-2002 aside from the spoiler and 3rd brake light, taillights were changed in 97, rear tail panel is the same 93-2002, rear bumper the same from 93-02, and rear quarter panels are the same 93-02.

Since you mentioned the driver's door specifically, 93-2002 they are all the same on the exterior. The interior door panel is specific 93-96 and 97-02 and the wiring is going to be different for the same year ranges also.

I had a question similar to that too. I have a 94 and I want to update the front clip and change it to the newer style. Is that all just bolt on or would I need to do some fabrication? I figure that I will have to buy the front fenders hood and front valance and headlights.

Pretty much what you listed is what you will need. I believe for the most part it's all swappable with no major modifications.

every part on a camaro from 93-02 is a bolt on as long as you have the supporting parts.
