Default Rear quarter panel

Does anyone know if the rear quarter panel off a 4 door will work on a 2 door? I am going to measure mine and put the measurements in my tool box but don't want to drive 170 miles just to compare. The next time I go to Pull-A-Part, I want it to be for parts.

Why is that, Derf? They sure look similar to me. I may just pull one off a coupe and one off a sedan the next time I'm at pull a part and see if they'll swap. If not, all I've done is wasted my time, but not money, right? And that way, everyone here can garner just a little more info about interchanging parts.

Before you spend money on one of these panels, drive around with a tape measure and sneak out and measure the rear quarter of a saturn sedan in a parking lot (preferably not one for MMA training just in case you get caught).

Then measure the quarter on your present vehicle.

I fear, dear lad, the two are not one.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you're right, derf, and I won't make a special trip to the yard just to get one, but I do have a tape measure in my tool box. So, the next time I go to Nashville for a part, I'll take some measurements. Right now, I'm not even sure I'm going to keep the frigging car.

Just open a few SL and SC pictures, you'll see.

Yeah, I know, Joe. I'm just trying to get something stirred up with you guys. Now that I seem to have my car straightened out, I'm bored.

I was thinking, is Charlie out of his mind?
