You can pick one up from any Stillen dealer or from Stillen direct.

I've got one in stock now. I'm not sure if it fits the 97-99. Some say it does, some say it doesn't.

Can anyone

confirm these not fitting 97-99's? ... I'd like to get one, but if it doesn't fit, what sort of modifications does it need?

well i bought mine from stillen for only $115 shipped. As for the fittment, it will work but keep in mind that the bumper on the 95-96 is different than the 97-99. On the 95-96 the bumper has more of a dip at the bottom of the stock grille, whereas the 97-99 bumpers are more flat and less dipped below the grille. So i think it will line up with the headlight brackets, but it might be too high to close the hood properly due to the higher bumper section in the middle. It would be a very very tight squeeze between the hood and the grill, IMHO.
