95/96 converted to 97+

Question for you converters. When you do that upgrade to get the look of the 97-99 Maximas, does the weight of the car also go up by about 200 lbs?? Car kinda feel a bit heavier afterwards?

That's the minor stuff. What about the bigger stuff, like re-inforced bumpers, too?

Anyways, if I had a 95/96, I would do the entire rear end to make it 97+ and just change the grille on the front. That way, you get 90% of the look of a 97+ without the added weight, hopefully.
