i'll be nicer than the other two guys...even though this is covered often and easily found.


once you have the 97-99, you need to modify it slightly because it's bigger than the 95/96's so i think a 1/4" needs to be trimmed from the bottum. test fit it then see how much needs to come off, then fix it, install and walla. goodluck and don't be discouraged by all the smart @sses on here.

If you plan on just swapping grills, 97 grill on the 96 bumper, you WILL have to either trim the outer posts on the grill were it meets the bumper, or trim the bumper where it meets the grill..
If your using the 97 bumper with grill, no need to modify anything.
Headlights from any year will fit. The 97-99's are prefered because they are clearer, but their plastic.

you will have a 1/2 inch gap if you use a 97 bumper on 96 grill, so im guessing if you do 97 grill on 96 you will have to do alittle triming
