Are Buggy Bodies interchangeable?

[RubiconX]

Hey folks,
Just wondering if nitro buggy bodies are interchangeable. I'm looking for a clear body for the AE RC8.2 nitro buggy but the local hobby shops only stock the electric version which won't really fit (from experience). I called a third shop and they told me that they don't stock Associated bodies but that I should come in anyway because they have tons of clear nitro buggy bodies and I can sort through them and will for sure come across a few that will work. Does that sound right? Will a third party or another make clear body fit my buggy? Hoping to get some feedback who might have some experience with this.
Cheers
M

ProLine and JConcepts has made bodies that are a direct fit.

Other buggy bodies will probably fit if you take the time to trim them up. They just won't be perfect.

Anything is possible if you take the time and have the knowledge and know how.
