Swap '93 rear square bumper for round?
Hey I recently bought a '93 but I hate the looks of the square taillights. I want to swap the rear bumper for the 84-90 style so I can have the round taillights and concave bumper instead. When looking it up it says that the conversion won't fit, but I've seen others on here say that it's possible or that they've done it.
if you have, can you link me the part? I'm having trouble finding one.
Thank you!

I want to swap the rear bumper for a OEM style
I don't know if putting a 1984-90 bumper on a 93 is possible or not. I guess anything is "possible", but I don't know how much pain is involved.

But I saw a few people said it was possible and have done the swap from older to newer or vice versa, but Idk if there's a specific part or what. I heard the clips are in the same placement.

You might run into an issue with getting matching trim. The old style bumper uses a thinner black trim. 1991 up uses a wider body colour trim. You could be looking at a gross mismatch from the quarter panels to the bumper.

It will bolt on, but it will look like crap.

I have never seen an early back bumper cover on a late car. I have seen a few earlies with a late rear. I asked one seller about it and he didn't realize it! Obviously not a C4 guy. My first thought was that the car had been hit it the rear. For what that type of conversion would cost, I'd learn to live with it.
