It's ALL different.

You'll definitely need the '99-'00 headlights, grille, front bumper, hood and fenders. You might be better off replacing the core support too, but you could also either modify (i.e., bash in with a hammer) the '96-'98 core support and/or cut into the '99-'00 front bumper (these cuts won't be visible when the hood is shut).

They definitely have their differences. The pictures explain it all.

The headlights are both the same size, but they're shaped differently. I guess you might be able to say the '99-'00 lights are a tiny bit larger, but it's not like the '96-'98 lights will fit in the place that the '99-'00 lights mount.

i love my 97 front end, i just want the 99 and up rear bumper, it has more of a lip at the bottom. . ..

 

i never really noticed a difference with rear bumpers. can someone confirm this?

The coupe and sedans both have the same rear bumper, but the '96-'98 rear bumpers do not have the slight lip at the bottom that the '99-'00 rear bumpers have. The hatch rear bumpers from '96-'00 are all the same.

'96-'98 Coupe/Sedan Rear Bumper

It's interchangeable AS A WHOLE. You can't just change the headlights for example. The rest of the thread above your post explains it pretty well.
