I have a 97 ls has anyone ever done the 99-00 front on a 97??? I found a complete front for a ok price just didn't know if it bolts right on.. And it's everything but corners.. What do u guys think?

 

Yes it's been done, try searching. Here's a pic of my friends 97.

 

Kool.. Well if I don't get to pick it up if any of you guys would like to have it I will let u guys know were u can grab it. 950.00 a bad price?

 

950$ could be well spent elsewhere... unless you really want to do this for cool points.

Better yet, should've waited for a 1998+ to pop up for sale and save yourself the headache & 1000$

Not to mention that picture above suggests that fitment is less than ideal, then again it is a botched looking car.

 

complete meaning what?

You'll need a front bumper, hood, grill, grill surround, fenders, headlights, corners, and fogs.
and the corner lights too.

 

It can be done,but it is not a direct bolt on.

 

It just doesn't look like it fits correctly.

Why do people always put the rebel flag upside down??? Especially someone from the south.

 

lol to the rebel comment

 

it's complete front just no corners..

 

His car is a little thrown together. The body lines would line up though, and look decent if somebody took the time. BUT even with that said, why not buy a 98+. Seems like a waste of time to me.

 

it will mostly bolt-on to a '95+.

 

At the end of the day when a real 98+ comes up, the 95-97 will get schooled in the engine dept. The tails and third headrest are also signs, to me it is a waste of $ to be a faux '98+. That $1K some odd can go towards wheels, suspension, audio, maintenance. Then the $ towards the paint and body work to massage it in will be more $ into it.

Your car and $ so if it makes you happy.

 

No,not a direct fit.

You are missing a few points to bolt the fenders to the car,and the upper headlight support do not fit.
To get the headlights in place,you must cut off a little piece of metal on each side.


I know this since i got a 96 with a 98-00 front end conversion.
