Well you seem to have only one option for this car. Make one fit!

Now Japan during the time was having a big problem of close body designs. Example being the 90 Nissan Maxima, and the 90 Toyota Camary. Same body shape, different trim. My suggestion, find something that had the same shape as your car, and check out the body kits for it.

Sorry for leading you a little off the path there. No the kits for the Maxima or Camry will not fit your car. I was just pointing out that Japanese cars at the time tendend to have the same body styling of each other. And it already seems that some people found the sites you need.

Unfortunately the 1st gen bodykit world is lacking in a rear bumper. Your kinda on your own in that retrospect, however you could probly use an escort rear bumper. There are a few out there. Chad could post the links to the escort kits I think.

No, it won't fit. The front and sides will though.
