Trunk fitment question

Post by Royson »

Hey all
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1994 "turbo" trunk, one with a spoiler.

I have a 1990 Legacy L.

Would this fit, did the body style change in any way this would not work right? The body style changed after 1991, but do the 1992-94 fit??

Same question goes for the hood, as I may be able to get a turbo hood from the same deal, or another source.

The trunk lid should fit, but you may want to grab the tail lights to go with it or it'll look goofy.
The hood will not match up properly though, unless you want to swap out the fenders, corner lights and headlights too... along with re-wiring your front blinkers.

Ah, alright, thanks! I'll try to get the tail lights too.

So I should stick to finding a '91 turbo hood, that would prevent the need for changing headliughts?

I searched a few days ago about tail lights and it was stated in another thread that 92-94 tail lights will NOT fit on a 90-91.

So I would probably not get that trunk unless you know for a fact it will fit or that your 90 tail lights will fit on it.

Ah, crap. I looked around a bit last night for that answer but didn't see anything, guess I didn't look deep enough.

Too bad, it was a good price too.

No the tail lights won't swap. I'm assuming the trunk will be different too. However you could get the spoiler and install it on your trunk. That's what I did.
