I'm close to buying a 97 grill to put on my 96 but I want to make sure if it will fit, or if there is a way to make it fit. Anyone that has any ifno let me know!

Thanks

if u modify it a little then yes...but it is not a perfect direct swap...the edges on the 97 grill is longer then the 96....emax did it and he had to sand it down a bit...but that still leaves a small gap in the middle from the grill to the bumper.....

Do you know if he's got a pictuer of it somewhere. I think I might do it.

it'll take a little work, but it can be done. The 97 grill is a little taller on the edges, so you'd either have to trim the bumper or the grill. Hopefully i will have better pics up soon.

I noticed that on your car before, I think the grille alone makes a big difference in the look, i know a lot of people like to switch the bumper and grille along with headlights/corners.. but I think changing the grille alone makes it look a whole lot better....
