Key word "custom fit", yes. Bolt on and go, the inner trunk lid will not. Options would be to buy a 95-97 trunk lid or have your body shop guy mod the 98 to adjust the mount holes. My suggestion would be to stick with the 98+ tails. Not worth the added expense to go backwards.

the outer tail lenses will fit if i'm not mistaken. the inner will NOT unless you "custom" fit them (read: make more holes)!

usually folks want to go to 98-00 tails from a 95-97, not the other way around.
