Oldsfan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I believe the 88 and 98 front clips will interchange. The 98 had a longer wheelbase, but I believe all the length was ahead of the rear axle.However; 88s and 98 have different fenders. 88s have a squared off wheel opening, while 98s have a teardrop shaped wheel opening, to match the 1/4 panels on coupes and convertibles.
