Default Interchangeable parts from the 98-00 and 01+ GS

Hey,
I wanted to know if you can switch the grille from an 01 GS to 98GS?

dont listen to them....they both lying to you.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE GRILLS NOR IS THERE CHROME UNDERNEATH EITHER OF THEM


































search please next time. this is a common item to swap for the 1998-2000 guys as most think the 2001+ grill looks better

some more commonly swapped parts off the top of my head are the taillights, headlights,and dash bezels all coming from the 2001+ models

Chrome shifter bezel, steering wheels, wood ashtray, center clock/vent.


Not only do I have an 01+ grille, it's chrome.
