S4/S5 body parts?

Since when are these things not interchangable? I had someone show me these two pics:



Thats s5 body bumper on s4. I was under the impression these body parts were all interchangable? Is it just a shitty fitment of the kit? I know you can loosen the hood and pull it forward a bit, same with the head lights. But the fenders, I dont know

Is that an 87? Cause on my 86 the bumber ends where the turn signal begins.... The bumper does not extend to the wheel wall. The bumper connects to the fender where the turn signal lens begins...

this is a pic of an 87 turbo with a body kit on. This shows how the 87 is different from my 86.

All rx7 fenders are the same. Those kits go OVER the lower half of the fender.
