I searched, but cant figure out what is the difference between the 96-98 and the 99-00 front end?

also what are the benefits if any for doin this swap

THANKS!

 

96-98 front end are almost alike but the 99 front bumper is different around the headlights... Cause if you want to make your 96-98 a 99 front end conversion you need to switch the headlights too, you cant use the stock headlights from your 96-98

 

They're really cosmetic when it comes down to it. The headlights are a little different, and so is the bumper. On the 96-98, it's just got one big opening in the bumper cover and the 99-00 have one smaller in the middle and two mock openings in the sides under the headlights. Really the only diff is the look, and having to buy fenders, hood, radiator support, headlights, bumper, and paint job to change it over

 

The headlights, hood, fenders, bumper, and grill are a little different shape. You dont really need to change the radiator support, but it makes it bolt up easier. You have to do a little modifing to the 96-98 radiator support to make it work.

 

everything on the front end of the body is different. dont waste your money changing your front end, it wont be worth the money or time. if ou want it REAL bad, sell your car and buy a 99/00. i reccomend the ebp si like mine.
