Default 97 conversion differences...

Okay, with a potential 97 conversion BG coming up, I want to get some information. I know the 97 has a bit more aggressive look than earlier models, yet I can't put my finger on it . Anyone have any before and after conversion pics or maybe some side by side comparisons? And how long/hard is it to install a full conversion? Any advice welcomed.

go to autotrader, fleabay, etc. and look up a 1997 SCx00. Then compare pics with your car.

Installation = no more than 1 hr. for me

The color differences on this conversion in progress help to highlight what's been put on:

Also, search "97 conversion" on this folder and you'll get a lot of info.

are you guys serious? its only an hour for all of it? i have all mine right here, and im wondering where im going to snap all the clips in on the car. the sides and door modings are making me think i might have to drill a bit, but do i? this was the only thing i was worried about. i guess they could just go in the holes that are already there from the old stuff huh?
