I've searched and haven't found anything, so thought I'd just ask.
Q: Will [this] part from an RD1 fit on an RD2? Vice versa.
A: On the outside, the front fenders and side skirts are compatible. Everything else is unique to the specific generation. Interior, the gauges will not work. Shift surround can work, however it may look out of place. Stereo surround will fit also, but won't match the dash correctly. Seats, cargo cover, and center console all should work without a hitch. Front and rear strut bars are compatible, as is headers, intake, cams, cold air intake (exc. REV A Tibs) and pretty much anything else mechanical will work, i.e. struts.
^^ Comes from the new user FAQ. So fenders are compatible but the liners aren't?! Eh?
Also, noticed some people saying you can replace RD1 gauges with RD2 ones, while here it says it won't work...
Could just use a final word on this! Thanks

You can use RD1 gauges in an RD2, but you'll have to buy an RD1 gauge cluster, and it's a little bit of work, because you'll most likely want to swap odometers.
Buy RD1 gauge cluster
Buy RD1 gauge faces
Put current RD2 odometer in the RD1 gauge cluster
Put RD1 cluster in your car
This also works the other way around .. RD1-->RD2
Not sure if the fender liners are the same or not. I would guess that they would be the same though, since the fenders and doors are the same.

Well, turns out the yard had a busted up fender liner from an RD2, so I asked for it just to compare. Yep, they are exactly the same.
