* Minor differences exist: While largely the same, there might be slight variations in trim pieces, bumpers, and even some sheet metal between the '94 and '96 model years. These differences might not be immediately obvious, but they could lead to fitment issues. For example, some headlight or taillight housings might have subtle differences.
* Specific trim levels: Interchangeability is generally better between Mustangs of the *same trim level* (e.g., GT to GT, Cobra to Cobra). Parts from a base model might not fit perfectly on a GT, and vice versa.
* Aftermarket parts: Aftermarket parts are often designed to fit a broader range of years, making interchangeability less of a concern with those. However, always double check the specific part's compatibility with your year and model.
In short: Many body parts will swap, but it's always best to verify compatibility before purchasing. Checking parts diagrams from a reputable parts supplier (like Ford's own website or a major auto parts retailer) is the most reliable way to confirm if a specific part from a 1994 Mustang will fit a 1996 Mustang.
