there is not mcuh difference in the 95-96 to 97-99 the 97-99 just wraps around a few inches more than the 95-96


have you thought about just getting a full bumper replacement like the Sarona or Skyline kit?

The 97-99 bumpers ar extended by another 1-3 inches. The 97-99 body kit pieces will NOT fit your 95-96 bumper. Your only alternative is to do what I did, slap on a 97-99 bumper and whah-lah, you can now use the FULL 97-99 body kit, granted you also have the front bumper as well....

alright, so i would only have to buy 1 piece to make it so the 97-99 stillen rear will fit right? just the 97-99 stock rear bumper?

also, if i get the new rear bumper, will i have to change the tail lights? or is it a very simple swap that requires nothing else to be changed..

thanks a lot guys..

Like William said, there isn't too much of a difference. But, like you, I too prefered the '97 Stillen rear ground effects a tad better. So I bought a '97 bumper. It just depends if it is worth it to you or not to spend the extra time/money.

Yes, just the rear bumper cover, nothing else.

I was you a couple months back, I thought I would just changed the bumper because I like the 97 stillen rear better, but after getting the 97 bumper I said what the heck let me just do the full 97 rear end conversion. After doing the rear I started liking the 97 lip and you know the rest. So now I'm a full 97.

What do you mean? Like a Sarona bumper cover and a stillen front lip? I would recommend getting side skirts if you are going to do that.
