Rear lower QP/fender patch panel SA vs FB

Just looking for comparison on the rear lower quarter panels for SA vs FB (between wheel and tail light). I'm in need of a patch panel as per my other thread about the rust on my SA. I know the trim is obviously different on the sides along with the tail lights but I found an option for a much more reasonably priced patch panel off an FB. I was wondering if I have a cut out below the trim and farther forward from the tail light, will it match up with the SA?

IMHO this is a legit tech question for the most part. I'd be curious what that answer is myself seeing as I will need to patch the same areas someday on my car as well.

Concur. The question is about the trim and the statement that he needs a part is secondary.

the trim is different, but they interchange, the not enough coffee thing that the SA trim sits in is the same as the FB.

it should be the same shape down at the bottom too, and if its not its close enough

Sorry I'm not posting a want to buy ad.... I have this arranged off the forum. I'm asking If the two rear fenders are interchangeable. I will be more specific next time. My apologies!

Great. Thanks for the input. This will save me 100 bucks on the panels vs shipping from Canada! I appreciate it! I'll be updating the thread I started about rear lower fender rust when I tackle this for those interested.
