Hi, can anyone tell me if an egg crate grill from a 1993 940 turbo will fit on a 1995 940 turbo? Thanks

 

FOGLIGHT grill only fits FOGLIGHT car.

 

Thanks, looks like the 93's have em and the 95's don't.

 

On second thought, I've looked at pictures of both - with and with out fog lights. The grills in each car start at one edge of the hood bulge and continue across to the other edge. Unless they're using different size hoods the grills have to be the same size and interchangeable, don't they?

 

Fog fits fog.

 

Could you please expound on your answer? Are you saying the grills are the same size but the brackets are different? Or are you saying they have different size hoods and the whole grill is different?

 

OK, since you used the word expound....

Its been years so my memory of this subject is waning, but I think the hood could be different between fog and non too.

I think the fog grill is a totally different width than non fog.

 

The GRILLS are different, in fact the whole front end is different on the cars with fogs vs. the cars with no fogs! Even the corner lights are different. As far as the hoods, only the 940SE has a long hood, like a 960, so those are different but as far as a regular 940 goes, the hoods are the same on all 940.

 

^^^^ There we go! Sounds right.


Buy ecodes WITH fogs and run a USA foglight eggcrate. Looks really good. Sounds like you have a 95 with chrome grille. Yuk.

 

Many have tried to slap the eggcrate on a no fog light but rarely works unless you do a lot of mod work at which point it's not worth it...
The 1990 740Turbo has a cool eggcrate grill but it only fits 1990 which is a one year only set up even though it looks like any other 1991-1995 no fog.
E codes are nice but pricey... Gotta change the corner lenses too.

 

Ok. I don't want to beat a dead horse but he's not quite dead yet. I checked the part number for all 940 hoods and it's the same, as mentioned. Therefore, the grills HAVE to be the same width. And if they're the same width they have to switchable. It definitely won't look the same with out fogs but it's got to fit. Why wouldn't it?

 

get one and post back with results and pics.

 

The 1991 940 SE hood is different!
Besides, the hood has nothing to do with the grill! The grill doesn't attach to the hood, it attaches on plastic pieces between the lights and those are the different parts that won't fit.

 

I suggest learning by trial and error. Go buy the wrong one and see how it doesnt , or does fit. Or go to a junkyard and play around with the cars there before wasting $60

 

My mistake, I meant all non se 940's. And the hood has everything in the world to do with the width of the grill. Look at ANY front end of ANY 940 and you'll see whatever type of grill it is, it's as wide as the hood bulge. For the grills to be wider or narrower the hood bulge would have to be wider or narrower. They didn't make them that way.

 

So, by what you say, everyone who said the grills are different size are wrong. It's the mounting hardware. Now we're getting somewhere.

 

Let's not get into semantics here; the grills from the NO FOG cars WILL NOT fit cars with FOGS, that's the point! I don't care if the actual grill size is the same, the ATTACHMENT points are in different locations, thus the difference--so the grills are different.

 

I tried keeping it dumb and simple, but was asked to expound.

Read post #2 and #5 again.

 

You're right, that simple explanation is enough for those who have no mechanical experience or creativity. But some of us are blessed with those virtues and could easily customize a bracket if the grill was the same size. Thanks for your help.

 

Just for you schmo, I borrowed a foglight grille today and placed it up against a non foglight car.

There were two problems:

1: Didn't mount. Im sure you could chop/cut/ziptie and make it hang in place if you were inspired enough.

2. Small gap on each side of grill less than 1cm each side. Just enough to see the dirty edges of the painted molding.
