You should have no problem, everything should bolt up, like the head lights, fender, hood, front bumper, but I'm not sure if you have to change your radiator support or not. Some one enlighten us.

i have done a few of them and they are very simple to do if you have all the correct parts .the only thing that you have to modified is the brackets that holds the top of the bumper cover because the 96-98 are wider than 99-00 .

I got this on my car, the front bumper might be a tiny bit wider but the fenders incorporate the change into the car. everything bolts right up no problems. you can use your stock core support.

To do the conversion you will need:

hood
lights
fenders
bumper
grill

from a 99-00. You can also replace the bumper support, or just cut the tabs off of the 96-98 where there's interference.
