Are you sure?
I mean to do a conversion is CRAZY!
You would have to change bumper cover,fenders,hood,the actual bumper,headlights,corners,signals,grill,fogs,horns ,emblems,radiator,radiator support,hoodlatch,....

All that is really needed is the actual cover and the grill.
If you choose to use the 95-96 grill then it will look funny due to the gaps in between the grill and bumper.
I posted a while back with pics showing the difference in the grills.

If you use a 97-99 grill with a 97-99 bumper you will have no issues.
Its only when you change up the different grills with different bumpers when fitment ibecomes a bit different.
The cefiros will not fit 100% on either 95-96 nor 97-99.
