97 Conversion Done, But I Need Fog Ligh Help

Ok so i just got done with the 97 conversion in the front.
-First i need a 97 grille.. I totally forgot 95 has huge gap and dont fit too good..
So does anyone know where to get a good one online? Already checked the junkyard and most are front end crashes, so if i do find the grille, its in seventy pieces..

-And second, I need some help with the fog lights... So before i go spend my money on 97 fogs... Where can i get the mounts for them online? Because i had thought they would use same mount as 95, but i couldnt even get the bumper on the car with 95 mounts. And does anyone know any good online fog light deals?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated..


oh and im uploading the pix now so ill brb with those.

You can make the '95-'96 fit properly but if you're stuck on getting a '97-'99 grille just get one off eBay, they're fairly cheap there.

For the fog brackets, PM someone like maxfever1987, Teaner or Maxima_Joe and see if they have any. Again, you can buy the fogs off eBay.

That's all he needs right there, maybe even minus the HID kit but that's up to him. His '95 already had fully functional fogs.

Install is extremely easy and there's no modification needed to make the bumper fit.

You would only need to modify the '95-'96 grille so that there's no gap or just get a '97-'99 grille and forget the modification as it won't be necessary.

That's where i got my bumper. Sorry for no response lol. But me and my friend Kiyo put it on no problem (AFTER REMOVING 95 FOG MOUNTS), with no mods needed. But KEEP YOUR STOCK 95 BUMPER!!! Because the way it stays fastened isnt included thru certifit. And im looking for a grille now.

I still like the '95-'96 front end better but it looks good, glad you like it. Just get to painting that grille and you're all set.
