Default Will this fit a 91?

Hi guys.
Im in the process of mapping out my 91 Celsior. Just wondering what bumper this is? Is it a stock variant or an aftermarket one? It looks like the 95 bumper to me so would it fit the 91?

The reason I am asking is because I am looking for a bumper where I can mod the grille to look a litle like the modern Lexus.
I drew a rough line to show what I mean.

that bumper is a regular 95-97 assembly however the front grill has the front emblem deleted so it looks different to the eyes.
it will NOT fit directly to a 1st gen 90-94 car without some medications. fenders, headlights, hood/grill all are different.

Thanks guys. Thought it was the 95. I have another 91 that I will using to mock up any bodywork ill be doing so I should be able to make it fit. I really just want to start now but I have to get out of the habbit of starting projects before I have all the parts on hand.

yeah that is pretty common as they are in the same generation, 2nd gen, but even that requires changes to the radiator support among other details.

1st gen to 2nd gen bumper swap is not impossible, it's just not a bolt-on affair. it will require more finessing and body work to fit.

On the '91, the fog light assemblies are completely separate from the headlights. So while you're in there for major surgery, you'll have the option to leave those out if you prefer that look.
