Nightowl707 0 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi, I'm new to this forum and have recently gotten myself a 2014 LT1 and was wanting to change some parts on it to make it a little bit more aggressive in the looks department. I have found a few of the parts that I am wanting to swap in my year but one of the parts I want is for a newer model. The question I have is will the lower facia off of a 2016 Sparks rear bumper fit my 2014? For those who dont know what part I am referring to it is the piece that goes in the cutout on the bottom of the rear bumper (usually a black plastic). Mine is smooth the entire way down the piece and I found one for the 2016 that is diffused and would love to put it on, but I dont know if it would fit and dont want to spend 300 bucks after shipping if it won't work. If anyone has swapped parts from different years like that I would like to hear what did and didn't work for you. Also if anyone has any tips on where to find information on building the engine with a CVT for track use that would be also appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Anything 2016 and up will not fit your spark. The Spark was a complete redesign for 2016 and nothing is compatible with the 13, 14, and 15's. Link to post Share on other sites

No, I’ve tried this and spent quite a bit of money testing to see but it turns out nothing 2015 or older will fit the 2016 or newer sparks Link to post Share on other sites

MarshmallowSpark2017 4 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I’m not aware of any that swap over. There are people running the old spark Megan coilovers on the new car but I tested it myself and it didn’t fit right Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I am not sure about aftermarket parts being able to be swapped. I can tell you the OEM ones I have were able to be swapped between years. There was a slight difference in the rear springs but, I've been running them with no issues on my 2017. Link to post Share on other sites
adamcars 0 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Use gmpartsdirect.com to see if various part numbers for components are the same for different years. Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) The front struts assembly and springs for 13-15 will fit the 2016 and 2017 models. The part numbers are 73020 and 73019. I have had them on my 2017 now for 6 mo. without and issues. Fitment is perfect. Edited April 7, 2020 by thismarks Added info Link to post Share on other sites
thismarks 65 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just research the 2017-2019 models and the part numbers were different, odd seeing the front struts from the previous generations fit my 2017. This means in theory they will fit 13-19 models. The 2017-2019 part numbers are 42478300, and 42478301 Link to post Share on other sites
