Does anyone know or has anyone tried to take an older Explorer from clip (1993) and mate it to a newer (1995) explorer??

I didn't expect them to simply bolt up.. its never that easy.. :( Have you ever tried to bolt up an older front clip to a 95+ex?? I can't find the right kit on that site.

The Explorer's can also be converted to the 2000 body style, the Most impressive kit available. This kit will convert '91-'95 Explorer's from the (square headlight body style) to the new and custom looking '96-2000 Explorer body style. PERRY'S takes the old Explorer, strips the exterior sheet metal, and grill, then adds all new "hand-layed" fiberglass front fenders, hood, grill and flared bedsides. The front fenders bolt on in the stock location using all existing hardware. Rear quarter panels are flared and partial existing quarter panel removal required. The 2 door Explorer feature one piece, rear, "hand-layed" fiberglass quarter panels and the 4 door, 2 piece rear fiberglass quarter panels. Mounting and fasterners are needed for rear quarter panels but not supplied. PERRY'S kits change the looks and adds extra clearance for larger tires and vehicles equipped with more travel.
Minor modifications may apply for exact fit.

Are you saying you have a 95+ex and want to convert to a square headlight style front end?

And does Perry's really think that a '95 front end is different than a '96??
 






he wants to put a gen 1 onto a gen 2

and um, gen 1 ended in 94, not 95 like perrys site says
