Can you put in the 97 grill on a 96 without changing the 96 bumper to a 97? thanks, sorry if this is a repost.

 

You need to trim the bumper a little, but it will fit.

 

Or trim the '97 grill legs, right?

 

wouldnt you also need the 97 head lights?

 

nope , these are exacly the same shape wise.

 

you trim 1/4" off the bottom of the 97 grill( the chrome posts)and it will fit. Ive done it for someone

 

They're not necessarily chrome.

 

I know but its easier to identify than saying those two post things on the sides of the grill

 

Or just swap front bumpers as well

 

This is a great idea if you change the grill.

 

True, but that would be irrelivant to the original post.

 

heh thanks, yea i know, but i dont feel like paying for a new bumper and painting it, its really not that big of a deal. I just planned on getting the 95-96 stillen kit, but i wanted the 97 grill, just to make it different

 

I feel the exact opposite. I bought a '97 bumper but when I put it on, I want to continue using my '96 grill.
