Default Bumper rear absorber difference 1990-1992/1993-1995

Hello,

I've been looking for a rear bumper cover for a while now and I think I finally found one.

Donor car is 1993, my car is a 1991.

1993 seems to have a different model of absorber.

1993:




1991 (#15):



How would be the fitment?

Thanks!

I'm sure GM just found a cheaper way to produce the inner absorption material. As G8nightman stated all the 91-95 bumper covers are the same.

Noted!

My concern is: on my 1991, it is bolted (or riveted according to the picture?).

What about the 1993+? The holes fit?

Well, I'm getting more and more concerned.

Impact bar seems to be VERY different on a 1993 compared to 1992.

Top is 1993+, bottom is 1992-...

FWIW, the bumper supports changed from the honeycomb to styrofoam somewhere around VIN no. 120 in the '93 MY. GM had to lighten the car to meet the as-approved EPA fuel economy requirements for '93.

It makes sense, but I'm really wondering if it is going to fit with '91 Impact bar...

Also to note, there are slight differences between 1990 and 1991. I’ll try to get a pic tonight.
