Quick difference between s5 gxl fender and s4 tii fender?

I need to know the difference between a front fender from a 91 s5 gxl and a 88 s4 tII. I have the s4 tii and it has a pretty beat up driver side front fender. Will there be any problems using the s5 fender? I'd be using my s4 moldings. Will that work on the s5 fender?

The moldings on a s5 and s4 are diffrent. so you might have to some how mount the molding using something else ( double-sided tape)..

Also i am not exactly positive, but the way the fenders connect to the front bumper cover differ from each series.

The fenders are different from series. I sell body kits. Putting a S4 fender on a S5 you'll notice that there is a fender height difference between the door and the fender. A big gap. Bolting them on is the same. Molding of course is different.
Thanks Robert
