Default Body conversion 1996 to 2000

Hi Guys,

Not sure this is possible or not.. Has anyone done body conversion from 96 to 2000 with dual crystal.. I have seen people doin front end conversion with replacing fenders, front bumper and hood with lights.. But not the rear end.. I belive the both quater pannels needs to be replaced..

​​​​​any ideas...? Pointers?

why would you need to replace quarter panels? the cosmetic differences in the 96-98 and 99-00 is the whole front end, and in the sedans/coupes it’s just the taillights and rear bumper and with the hatch it’s only taillights. no quarter panels need to be changed, only front fenders and core support may need mods. the conversion has been done a million times, if you’d search a little more you’d probably find a million threads.

Thanks for the input mate.. I thought 96 tail light buckets wont fit 2000 model lights.. Because 96 lights has more roundish edges and 2000 has more straight edges.. And the size diffrence too..

are you referring to the coupe or the sedan? sounds like you’re referring to the sedan, and now that you mention it i think a trunk deck swap would need to be done to use the 99-00 tails.

buy a set of the lights and try them, but i swear they fit the outers but you gotta change the trunk lid for the inners as you can see in the pics.
