Default Ucf11 front end on ucf10

hey guys I'm new here and I just bout me a 1991 ls400. Well I noticed that the front end on the 93s and up are a little different. I've seen that people put ucf20 front ends on them but I was wondering if I can put a ucf11 front end on my LS? I am a bodyman do if there is any modification I should be ok with that. Thanks!

what exactly are the difference you noticed?
UCF10 and UCF11 are the same generation car, model years 1990-94.
UCF11 just means the car came with factory air suspension but there is no front end differences other than color of the badging perhaps.

did you mean UCF20 where there was a generation change, 1995-97? those front ends will NOT bolt onto a UCF10 without major modification of the fenders, hood, bumper supports, etc...
and just for your further education, UCF20 face lift (with rounded headlights) are model year 1998-00. again same thing if it's a UCF21 that simply means the car has factory air suspension.

top one is a UCF20 pre-face lift 95-97 model.
bottom is a UCF10 90-94 model.
between them there is a generation change so the cars themselves are different, thus the sheet metal varies.
it's a very common mistake, and hope you learn a lot more from this site. we are glad to help!

And no, 95+ front ends will not easily mount to earlier chassis', considerable fabrication and body work is needed.

+1 what PD said...my spare stock ucf20 parts do not come even close to fitting anything on my ucf10 lol. Some of it seems close, but buying aftermarket aero would certainly be easier.
