no, the 92-96 have different mounting brackets, and a crumple zone. Some mods will have to be made. there is a little bit more steel on the sides, that follow the wheel well line. Usually people cut this so bigger tires dont rub

The bumper from the 89 is a flat style vs. a rounded style!
AND THEY WILL NOT INTERCHANGE!

yes any bumper from 87 to 92 body change should fit with no problem. The newer biumper is rounded as said and unless you cut at wheel well the center sicks out a ways . good luck on switch
