They really aren't all that different. They probably just trimmed and shaved a little on the bumper to make it fit. The fitment really doesn't even look all that great. And looking at it like that you can really tell how much different the 99-00 headlights are.

well that's.... interesting. I didn't think it was possible. Guy gets at least some props for trying something different, although his execution was lacking.

It definitely doesn't fit 100% right though. There are weird gaps all around the headlights. My guess is that's your answer. They'll fit, but you'll have weird gaps all around like that.

I'll reserve comment on the rest of the car. No I won't. :barf:

yeah, I think it's a 99-00 hood too. I think that's why the lights look a little wonky all around.

Looks fairly decent. It looks weird to me just because I've never seen it before, but i think the fitment looks ok. He probably modified the bumper around the heads on the side.

Look on the fender in the farthest picture to the right. It looks like a hump of either Bondo or the metal was bent or something. Either that or just the way the light is reflecting.

The gap at the top of the lights is funny. It's...eh, acceptable, serviceable, but not pretty.

I'm not seeing what you are talkin about with the fender, however I did notice that the hood is trashed. Its wrinkled and dented to ****.

thats a 99-00 hood and if you look at the first pick you can see that the bumper stick out like a half inch past the fender
