We only recommend direct fit parts, so I would say no.

Your mechanic would have to put the two side by side and compare them. They change things so often, it wouldn't surprise me that they are different.

Please understand, I am not allowed to recommend changes like this. We are only allowed to recommend direct fit parts.
