replace LCD and aluminum cover

Dropped my late 2008 MBP 15 A1286 and upper cover bent and screen cracked but worked. Looking to replace the upper assembly but eBay lists a lot of 2009 model parts. Can I simply buy a 2009 upper and attach to my late 2008 w/o issues? not wanting to spend more than $100, cosmetics not important.

Looks like I will have to buy a "functional" MBP just to get the exact LCD & cover replacement part. Thanks!

I shop on eBay for the part, do not substitute other years models as the cables are different.

Here’s how to do it:
