This is gone over many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many times on this site alone. Here is one link to a thread I made some time ago... Scroll down to where it says, "How can I do a front end conversion from either the '96-'98 to '99-'00 or from the '99-'00 to '96-'98?""

2, 3 or 4 door, you mean.

'96-'98 are the same. '99-'00 are the same. Grilles change from body/trim but are still interchangeable.

Please learn to use the search function on the site.

This is not totaly true, there is some modification needed to make everything fit correctly!

The bumper mounts/tabs on the core support will need to be trimed. You can modify the bumper rather then the core support if you please.

They 99-00 bumper tab is skinnier then 96-98, so it will need to be trimmed.

Other then that, everything should bolt right up.

This is just a very common question and a recent wave of noobs are once again becoming unwilling to search. People should be willing to help themselves.
