Looks good, man.
So, besides the lights going from glass in the older to plastic and better looking in the 97-99's, what else is different for the conversion?

I think the back is much more noticeable. I love the trunk lid on the 97-99, it just kind of has that little lip on it.

The bumper is different and the grill. I took some really crappy photos and must take new ones.

I can't wait until I do the back, I like the 97-99 much more than the 95-96

i think the back 95-96 rear end with red clears looks better than 97-99.. too bad those are impossible to find.

I think pretty soon, we will get to the point that you can no longer tell if anyone has a 95-96 because they have all converted over to 97-99.

Max Noob, no way! IMO the red/clears look much better on the 97-99. I don't know, there is something about the brake lights being on top of the clears that is good looking to me.

I'm going to agree and say that the red/clears do look better on the 95-96, and I have a pair. But they were messed up when they were painted so I have to try and fix them, and then I'll sell em and it might pay for the rear conversion.
