Default hood & bumper bra for 95-97 VS 98-00

I am in the market for an used reasonably priced hood /bumper bra for 98-00 model but I have only came across a set of 95-97 one so far.

I know the headlights/fogs/corner lights won't line up perfectly with the 95-97 bumper section but would the hood section at least fit? I am not sure if the hood is wider on 98-00 VS 95-97?

Thanks for posting pics. PM sent to work out the rest of details...

They should work except I don't have side markers on the bumper which is no big deal.

No rips or anything but I know I had to stretch it to get the various hooks to attach under the hood and under the bumper. The sides that attach to the wheel well would probably work better if the was no fender liner but this really looks good on the car. Also I would make sure to take it off every now and again to let the paint breathe if that sounds right.
