Everything from a coupe fits the vert except for the rear bumper extensions. You can make them fit though. I just did it on my wife's new-to-her '92. It came with ill mounted rear bumper extensions from a coupe. You have to trim the top of the panel to match the vert bumper extension you are taking off the car. I used a carpenters block plane. You also have to cut down the cast-in mounting points on the back of the panel--where the aluminum rail mounts. Once you cut them down to the right height, you lose the face with the screw hole to mount the rail to. I got around that by taking a piece of 1" aluminum square tubing and cutting one of the faces off. That leaves you with a three sided piece that you can fit over the top of the mounting area and hold on with a screw through the side. Now you have a new face to screw the mounting rail to. I also found that the rail on the car doesn't match up. The rearward end needs to be raised. I just cut channels down from the mounting holes on the center and rear mounting points, so that I could pivot the rail on the front screw. I plan to put a photo-tutorial up of how I did this when I do the other side of the car.
