Would a body kit that fits a 96 camry fit a 96 cmary wagon, or is the wheel base to differ between the 2 cars..

i think the front fits fine...the sides probly dont, and definetly not the rear...

i think the sides of the sedan and coupe are like 74 inches long or so...

Actually, I think the sides might too. The rear definitely wont. When I had my old '95 Corolla wagon, I checked out a side skirt from a friend of mine who was putting it onto his '94, and I put it up against my car, and it looked like it would have fit no problem.

The front bumper and sideskirts are the same, however the rear bumper is longer on the sides below the fender. Compare side view photos of wagon and sedan and you'll see. I suppose you could modify the rear bumper kit to fit by cutting and patching in a section to make it longer. Better yet, get a damaged rear bumper kit of the same type and salvage the undamaged side pieces for a flush-fit cut and paste.

because the bumpers are different...

think of it this way.. the front and the rear fits on a coupe but not the sides??? WHY because they are different...in length

go test for yourself... if you want.

lengths are the same on the sedan and coupe acutall, its the lack of the rear door and the way the kit is desinged thats the problem

The wheelbase is the same for sedan and wagon, the overall lenth of the wagon is +2 inches. If you don't believe me go to the specs here:http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...arreviewspecs/ Or call the parts guy who has 2 codes for the rear Camry bumper.

As a matter fact my side skirts on my coupr went one perfectly, no cutting or anything...so that stament is not true about the side skirts for coupe/sedans. look at my car, those side skirts came JUST the way they are (cept they werent black more of a yellowish lime greenish fiberglassish material)
