Dimensions of 1996 Front Bumper?

Hi, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong spot, and haven't found anything related to it.

I own a 1996 Mustang (V6) which I had a little booboo in last month. I'm only four months away from getting myself a new 2015 Mustang EcoBoost (Triple Yellow), and will be trading in or selling my current Mustang! Luckily the only damage done to my car was in the front bumper. So I've been looking around for a "used, yet clean" white bumper to swap with my dented one. Here's my question:

Between a 1996 Mustang's, and a 2001 Mustang's front bumpers.... are the dimensions different? It's obvious in appearance, but can I install a 2001 bumper on my '96 Mustang? Will the bolts be fitted close enough? Will there be gaps? Would it work?

Thanks guys!

Bumper or the cover? The covers are different and will not line up to fenders or hood right. Would have to change them all and doors. 01 is new edge sn95 and 96 is initial style sn95.

Bumpers behind the covers, I don't know about that.

It's the cover.

Nope. 01 cover will not fit right on a 96. The only body panel that's the same is the roof. All other panels are different.

You need one from a 95-98 model.

Thank you!
