Chrome bumper inserts wont fit????? HELP

[bigtime57]

I had recently purchased a 99 Eddie Bauer with the front end banged up a bit. I found a front bumper cover off a 99 sport. My original bumper ends was not damaged so when I tried to put the ends on the sport bumper cover they are to small and wont fit! I thought the EB and Sport and Limited was all the same bumpers just different colors? Please Help!!!

thats a negative...they are different...in reference, there is a thread out there that talks about like civic/ accord bumpers fittin on a sport but not a 4 door...
if ya look at the rear seat of a 2 door and a 4 door...you can see that the 4 door is wider than a 2 door...

You sure thats not because the rear seat in the sport is between the wheel wells? I don't think they're different widths.

No, they are the same width...

they are? they seem smaller than a 4 door, cuz when i went to the junkyard...i seen leather seats that i wanted, and they were out of a 2 door. and i was looking at it and ya know the longer seat in the rear seats...well, the 2 door seats were even (same size). so i assumed the 4 door is wider. then i thought about the front seats with console is the same width...so why is the rear seat seem smaller than a 4 door?

Because it sit between the wheel wells

Trust me I know, I own a 2 dr and 4 dr.

yea, like Stic-O said, it sits between the wheel wells.

covers

The bumper cover of the sport and limited are the same .Is not possible to install the covers in thems.
The XLT is the same as Eddie Bauer the only difference is that the first has a textured surface.

yea, that would make sense after all, cuz there is less leg space, right? and the wheel wells would push the seats in more....got it.
