Looks good although I suspect the camera phone pics don't do it justice.

Its pretty cool however, you could have changed the headlamps and grill without changing the bumper and just change the rear tail lamps. 95-99's are pretty much the same body and components. I don't think the bumper conversion was necessary but all in all its still looks cool.

Those camera pics suck monkey ***** though

The 95-96 and 97-99 trunk and rear bumper are different.
I have a 95-96 but only did the rear trunk and light conversion... the bumper I left the 95-96... there is a gap between the trunk lid and the tail light section( the 97-99 bumper bevels out more under the tail lights)

just changing the tails will not give a very clean, finished look. the rear of the 95/96 have a bit of a curve through the taillights and lid. ht 97/99 is flat. if you only changed one component, they would not line up. so if you change the trunk and the tails, the bumper will no longe line up with the lid and will also look 'off'. therefore, to do the job right, the bumper should be changed also.

as far as the front, yea, the lamps and grille can be swapped with a little bit of work to fit. but some people like the more aggressive look of the 97 and on bumper. it gives you a different look from the same car. a really cool mod, i think, but i love my 96, so i think i'll leave it as it.

yea it does still look awesome, but i think the 97+ back bumper flows better with the tails and such.

Welcome to the conversion group, although i also have a 95-96 rear bumper and will probably never change it. I like the look of it better with the 97-99 trunk.

Looks Real nice. Whenever I get the extra money, I need to get the trunk and Tails. They look so much better than the 95-96.

What's up with the drivers side headlight & corner marker? They look like they're just chillin there and not mounted in a couple of the pictures... =/ Overall it looks nice. What headlights/corner markers do you have installed?

He probably has the 2 piece cefiros, am I correct? That explains the gap there.

Were you in an accident? Or did you just pay a body shop to do all that work? Looks good, but I still prefer the 95-6 body better for some reason.

BTW, who stole JSutter's amber corner idea?
