96-98 are the same and 99-00 are the same. If your car is a 96-98 and you want easy then get 96-98 front end parts, same for 99-00. You can switch to a 99-00 front end, but it will require a hood, bumper, fenders, grille, headlight assemblies & I believe there is some minor modifications required to the radiator support to make it all fit. If you have a 99-00 and want a 96-98 front end its essentially the same process. Visually there isn't a massive difference, I personally like the 99-00 front ends better, however they are different enough that you can't really mix and match parts.

If you want a full list/write up on swapping I am not much help on that, but some google searching should give some results.

 

I used to own a 97. It was the 96-98 and 99-00.
