What did you need to do to make the 97+ fit on the 95-6?

Thanks,
Erik

Since the 95-96 grill is slightly shorter than the 97-99, we had to cut the bottoms the 2 crome bars about .25" for it to fit in the bumper. Even then, there will still be a half inch gap between the bottom of the grill and the bumper but everything will snap in and fit flush perfect as you can see. If you do this, I suggest to cut less than .25" off and test fit it, doesnt fit, grind off a lil more until you get it right.
oh and the tools we used was a high speed dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the grill and also you have to sand it to be smooth
