does anyone know if the 97-99 lip kit would fit on my 96 or would i have to do alot of customization?

i would just get the 95-96 kit, but i like the 97-99 kit look better

There would definitely need to be some customizing to make it work. It's labeled to fit a 97-99 only for a reason... Not worth it IMO. If you really want the 97-99 style (I don't blame you, it's nicer than the 95-96 style IMO) then get a 97-99 front bumper cover and grill first, then get the lip kit.

Keep in mind, same thing goes for the rear pieces too.

 

how about the sides? and theres stuff here on the org on how to change the front and back, correct?

 

Sides will work.

Check the FAQ's and Howto's about the bumper swaps. It is all in there

 

As Kevlo stated, the sides will work. All sides pieces are the same anyway.

See stickies for bumper swap info. It's really quit easy and intuitive to remove the bumper covers IMO, so don't let that hang you up. Once you start, you'll see what I mean.

 

i did the 97-99 front end conversion. but the hardest part is the paint matching

 

forget the paint matching, just get the car resprayed eventually lol. and all i need is the bumber covers right? no reinforcements or anything? and would it be cheaper to get the parts at the junk yard or pick and pull or is this a good site ? http://shop.carbodyparts.net/search....s&part_subtype=

 

yeah, all you need is the bumper cover.
you can use your 95-96 grill, but there will be a gap.

also, if you have fog lights on your 95-96, they wont work

 

how bout that site? or does anyone know of a better way to buy the stuff?

 

not sure what your asking for. which site?

and also, its unclear in the stickies whether or not i HAVE to change out the trunk. do i have to do this or is it optional?

 

the trunk swap depends on if you want the 97-99 lights.
