    If you're talking about wheel well trim then each piece is different. The front trim is different on a small bumper car around the valance but the rear trim is the same no matter what size bumper you have. I'm not aware of this part swapping to a different make/model/year.

    They don't swap front to back or left to right. They made a left rear and a right rear...left front and right front. The front trim from a small bumper and big bumper are different because a small bumper car has a valance and the big bumper has a big bumper. The rear wheel well trim is the same for all years. If you want wheel well trim NOS, eBay, junkyard or parts car is the only choice at this time. I got my trim from 3 different junkyards off 4 different cars.
