The 900 and the 91/92 9000 lights & grille are different. They mount differently from pre '91 9000's too. You could not just 'snap in' a couple of the sloped lights and have it look right.
Here's a short list of what you'd probably have to change to get the 'sloped front' look that's on the '91 - '92 9000 hatchbacks :
both headlights, w/ plastic mounts
grille
bumper
front air dam (because bumper now sticks out about 1" further)
side directionals
The hood, the front upper crossmember (radiator support) may also be different, but I haven't looked closely enough at these to know.
The long and short of it is, you CAN do this, but you'll need a donor car handy that's got a more or less complete (undamaged) front end.
