96-98 Radiator supports are a little different than 99-00 supports. If you want to do the conversion to a 99-00 front end you're better off going with the 99-00 support.

You can still do a 99-00 front end swap to a 96-98 support, but it will take some patience, some tools and a couple of beers to make everything line up correctly.

I just finished mine and it's still a little off, but it beats bringing the car to have a new support welded on.
