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?

I believe the location of the mounting holes are different between s4 and s5.

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
