They are the same, you'll just have to cut off the corner light bracket.

yes for the 95-99 the corner bracket is part of the fender. cut it off and then get the ones for the 00-02 fender

Thread number 524 this month on fenders. Searchit, it is there.

Also will have to shave the current bumper under the headlights,that is unless you are planning on getting a different one.

there isn't a bracket that goes onto the fender for 00-02 ones, the corner light attaches to the headlight instead.

Actually there is a corner bracket for teh 00 corners.. there is 2 prongs and a clip that hold on to the headlight mount, but also there is another prong on the end of it.. There is a bracket that is bolted down for the 00 cavs.. Cuz im doing a 00 swap and making sure to get these brackets.. 3 bolts hold in this bracket.. Now u might be able to get away without the bracket.. maybe ziptie that last prong to the bumper or sumthing.. But without that secure on the end it will bounce and maybe move enough to fall out while your driving..

Here is the pic of the 00-02 Corner Lense Bracket, you can see a bolt that holds on teh fender also holds this, and also one of the bolts that hold the headlight in. Pic thanks to Kevin (OneBadZ24)


Also here are pics of the back of teh corners and how it clips into the headlight.. Now i pulled on the corner and it would move somewhat, didnt really come out but if i had a nice set of corners i wouldnt want to take chance of one just falling off..

I've never seen the 03-05 fenders off a car yet... so I have no idea.

but 95-99 fenders have the bracket welded to it.

00-02 fenders don't have the bracket welded, instead it is bolted to the front of the car. BUT there is a tab for the yellow pin on the corner light. That makes the fender itself different from the 95-99's.


I don't know the differences in Sunfire fenders. They all look the same to me.

Manta Z: are 95-05 fenders the same?
Jason(A+Performance): the shape yes....

Manta Z: could you use 95 fenders on a 05?
