Hey man, I'm glad you tried searching a lot of people skip that step. To convert you need Hood, fenders, grill ,bumper, and the fender brackets underneath the fender if im not mistaken. Imo the 97 front end looks cleaner with a SIR lip and fogs. look that up first or even a chargespeed lip. Also its not a EK, EK is short for EK9 which is a typeR.

You need everything from the 99.

You do have cut the bumper brackets on the coresupport, or some cut the bumper instead.

its the 2 brackets that are next to the headlights, quite thin metal, so it's pretty simple to cut.

Once you cut, put everything on the car, and line the gaps, when you are happy with that, mark holes on the bracket on re drill them. I recomend cutting them the same size as the OEM holes, so your able to re use the OEM clips.
