if u want to do the swap it's the bumper cover and the grill....all bolt on....

prices for the front bumper, grill, stillen lip, and paint will pretty much be the price of the front sarona bumper cover.....

The only bad part about the sarona is its fiberglass and needs a decent amount of fitting to look decent. the other bad part is it sits low to the ground and doesnt flex much if you hit anything. If your interested in afront bumper cover I have 1 off my 99 max its black though.

Difference between 95-96 and 97+

What are the major differences between the 95-96 bumpers and the 97-99 ones? Is there that much of a difference?

97-99 is sportier with more vents, plus the 97-99 is much stronger than the 95-96, look at my profile for some pics

ok, I see the difference now. Damn, I'm going to have to change my bumper now. That looks a lot better. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hey Red. and Yellow., how come when people ask if it is a direct bolt-on you say yes? Just as you guys did to me when I did my homework, you don't tell people about the slight conflict in the lower grill area. I think it would be fair to point that out. I know I wish you had to me ahead of time. Just to make the install go that much quicker. But, other than that, you guys have been very helpful and have been a great resourse. Thanks.

But yeah, it ALMOST is a direct bolt-on. E-mail me for details. But otherwise, all you need is '97/'99 front bumper cover and grill. Optional but nice are: '97/'99 foglights, front Stillen lip, headlights, clearence lights. And also, I guess there is a '97/'99 support beam available. Not too familiar though as I opted not to get it. Good luck.

simple...it was like the one thing i didnt completly install all alone, i had a shop do most of it, so i didnt know all the exact problems that occured, though they showed me the one with the bar on mine, and my air scoop fit in there fine, learn as you go i guess
