Nope. Only way to do that is if you do a 98+ Conversion. IMO, the '97 ITR Lip looks nice and it will fit your 95...

wow... i've always wanted to see pics... i would've rather done this because the 97 lip is so rare/hard to find. does it straight fit on? (i am referring to the fitment of the 98 lip to the 97 bumper)

I wonder how hard it was to modify that to fit?

If you like the 98+ lip I would just do the conversion

look really nice, I like how it came out.

but since WW is making the 94-97 lips not its probably going to be easier to get. They are for the most part the same lip.

But I deff like the 98 lip on the 94 bumper.

looks good... but the only downside i see to using this lip is that the oem fogs won't fit other than that... looks ok.

edit: n/m, in the pic i see what flexin5 is sayin when he cut too much... took me a while to understand what he meant...
