Is there a difference in body parts from 1993-1996 Impreza to my 2001 RS?

There are some parts for sale on ebay, listed as for a 93-96 impreza. I could use these panels if they are going to fit my car...

Most of the items will work. The only thing I would worry about was the headlight design of 93 to 01. Dont know if the front of the fender will mold correctly around the 01 lights. It might be a bit off. Scope out a 93 in your town a take a close look at it.

That will fit but, there is a difference though between the older fenders and the new but I can't remember what.:confused:

I know thats of little help to you but I just don't want you jumping in without knowing.

To the best of my knowledge (admittedly limited), the fenders will physically fit the car. The difference is very likely in the corner lamp. The headlamps/grille/hood from a MY00 fit my '96 no problem, but I retained the same '96 corner lamps

Are those fenders genuine Subaru or aftermarket? If they aren't Suby fenders, you can probably buy the correct ones for your car for about the same price. You can find a aftermarket retailer here. (http://www.keystone-auto.com/locations/search.asp) They will sell retail.
