TahoeFerrari Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Someone hit the left front corner of my 3-door coupe in a parking lot a few weeks back. Bumper and left front marker, headlight, and marker light are trashed. I know that I can get the bumper, marker light, headlight and miscellaneous hardware off of pretty much any body style Subaru, but I'm having trouble locating a front fender. Does anyone know for sure if the front fenders are the same on a 3-door (or RX) and wagons (or sedans)?? I've taken some measurements and that seem to say they're the same, but they don't look quite the same to my eye . Lots of wagons in the JYs, but very seldom do I see a 3-door body.

Subarian Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I don't know the answer, but the JY has a cross-reference that will answer your question. Alternately, you could call a dealer and get part numbers for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 As far as I know all Ea82 cars use the same front fenders (except the XT). Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Yes, they're the same. I have a sedan fender on my project 3-door, and it fit perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 And I have 3-door fenders on my wagon, so it works both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TahoeFerrari Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Wow! That's great news. I was afraid I was going to have to drive around with a mangled fender for quite a while before I found one from a 3-door. Now I might even be able to find one the right color so I don't have to paint anything. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 And I have 3-door fenders on my wagon, so it works both ways. ditto, i think the only difference is the plastic trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah, the black rubber strip is narrower on my 3-door fenders. I just figured it was because it came from a 86 and was going on a 92 loyale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 the only difference is that I had to pull the back of the fender out a HAIR to match the door....otherwise, they are all the same... 85~86 dont have holes for the trim or air dam. 87+ have holes for the trim...and other fenders for air dam. 87+ trim snaps on as well as double sided tape.
