Ehhhh

You won't really be able to mod a 96/97 to your 94/95 bumper.

You can *kinda* do it the reverse way due to how the bumper is shaped.

You'd basically be destroying the lip.

Why not just convert to the 96/97 front?

all you need for the conersion is a new bumper cover, and a different set of bumper lights. the 96/97 bumpers have wider lights. you may need a different license plate frame too, i dont remember off the top of my head

Well to do the bumper conversion it's like steerh67 said, it's just the plastic bumper cover and the larger turn signals and you're done. Simple quick mod takes less than an hour to do.

The 96/97 bumper doesn't have a gap in the middle where the lip folds up into it. If you look at the 94/95 it's kinda like an upside down U, whereas the 96/97 is an O.

So for the 94/95 lip on a 96/97 you just have to cut off that extra middle section.

BUT you'd have to add material for the 96/97 lip to fit properly on the 94/95 bumper.

You could fit it but there'd probably be a weird gap in the lower grill area.

Just take the quicker and faster way and get a 96/97 bumper.
