Leave it alone. IMHO look at Red Pheonix's car for reasons why. And if you still want to do it..... sell me your stock front lip

Congrats on the find!

ok i got most of the parts to do the 97+ conversion im gonna start with the front bumper but i have a few questions for anyone that has done it.

1. on a scale of 1-10 how hard would you guys say it it to do this swap and are there any special tools required?
2. do i need to buy different hardware to put the bumper on my 92 or do i use my existing hardware.
3. are there any DIY write ups out there anywere about how to take everything apart and puting it back together.
