Default fender difference 2 door 4 door

Is there a difference in the fender size on 2 doors and 4 doors?

To clarify, this has to do with '92-'95s and not '96-'00s, right?

I thought the sedan ones were supposed to be longer, but I don't get into 5th gens very much.

That was my impression as well, i've been meaning to measure for some time now. I'd like to swap a 2 door bumper on, but then the fenders don't line up and coupe/hatch fenders don't fit, i've been thinking about cutting and welding 2 and 4 door fenders together and then using coupe/hatch corners and bumper. I just don't know if can pull it off without it looking like its been hacked up.

Your 100% sure on this? I know the part between the wheel opening and the door is longer on the 4 doors, but the 2 door fenders could be longer overall, i just doubt it, but i've never actually measured or had both fenders side by side so i'm not gonna say your wrong.

from wheel to door the 2dr is longer, and im assuming the wheel well is the same size, and the wheel to the light is the same size, if not longer on the 2dr, just by a little. Thats just from eyeballing.

If anyone wants to measure certain points on a coupe/hatch, I can probably measure the same points on my friend's sedan next time I see her.

Ideally we would have two different fenders laid on top of each other, but I don't see that as being likely to happen.

I just ran outside and measured my sedan fender. 43" from the front where it meets the hood and corner light back to where it meets the A pillar. 8 5/8" from the wheel opening to the door measured directly over the side moulding. I just figured it would be quicker if i measured my fenders, i figure theres lots of people that can measure hatch fenders, but there aren't that many sedan owners on H-T.
