Doesn't sound too bad but I haven't had to do it. I mean they are both same gen aren't they? I think just headlights and bumper wouldn't be too bad.

I've done it. The same way the 95 bumper comes off is the same way the 97-99 bumper will go on. The headlight are the same way. To change out the light took about 5mins.

For real, I got my 97-99 skirts from 3 different people. The mounting tabs are always shot from banging into speedbumps.

The rear bumper will be the most time consuming. The 4 bolts in the trunk are a royal PITA without a ratcheting 10mm. Plus the brackets on the bottom dont match up, I used a combination of the 2ga/b brackets.

My car came with a 2gb front bumper and lights. Some dude I ran into gave me a red (matching) 2gb rear bumper and parts of the sideskirts because they were just taking up space in his yard..I got the rest of the skirts from Damon (thanks!) and some polished 2gb 5spokes from Chet (double thanks!)
so I almost have the full conversion...I just need a 2gb spoiler and to get the skirts painted (they're pink, white, and red lol) and I'm done.

Do it, smilyface sucks.
