95 Rear hatch and bumper question

[BrianDye]

The 95's still have the rear hatch like the 1st gens, with that <Glass----Door> handle thing, and the bumper houses the license plate...

I want to do a lot of little stuff like this when I get it, will the next style hatch and bumper fit...where the license plate is in the rear hatch, and theres like the hidden handles to open it?

The way it looks it should, you'll need the newer taillights. I'm pretty sure it'll line up with the rest of the body.

Yeah it will work, It's a direct fit. A few people on the forum have done it in the past. The only thing different is the wiring going to the plate lights. All you would have to do probably is buy some wire and extend them up into the hatch. Other than that all you need is the tail lights or there will be a gap. Also make sure the hatch is off a 98 because the 99-01 hatches have plastic trim on the bottom of them and it won't match your body lines very well...

What about the lock mechanism and all that, ill obv, have to have a different key for the back, no biggie, but will it still lock and unlock with the button up front, or the keyfob?
And the wiper motor, will that plug right in?
