Stupid bumper question

I know that the wide body cars are wider at the rear than the narrow body cars but........ has anyone tried installing a wide body rear bumper on a narrow body car?

Fenders are wider and bumper goes up to the fenders so it would not fit on NB. There are also support brackets on the inside.

I can buy a euro wide body rear bumper cheaper than a narrow body one.

Here is a narrow body rear bumper for $200.00. Should be able to ship through Greyhound.
