Any problems swapping 96 and 98 interior and exterior?

So my interior and exterior are really worn, luckily i found the parts i was looking for on a parts car. Those parts include

complete tan leather to black leather interior swap
Hood
front bumper
Back bumper
Trunk

i currently own a 1996 maxima, while the donor car is a 98'. I just want to make sure i wont run into any problems while performing the swap. Do you guys think it'll work no problem?

good thing you asked, the bumpers will fit if you do a 97 front and rear conversion as well as the trunk lid is a no unless doing swap. hood should be ok. many a write up in search for the front and rear.

@josh g
$150 for the trunk,hood,bumpers. They all look pretty decent conditon to me, except the hood has a small dent right in the front of it which is pretty noticeable.

$250- for the black leather interior- probably 8.5-9/10 telling from the pictures.

I probably wont buy it now due to the swap process and since the location is a little far. I was going to swap the parts in the guys driveway, but i guess i cant now.

holy cow, only $150 for front and back bumpers and trunk? hood too..

is this from a junkyard? cuz if its this cheap to get all this.. but i dont need a hood, i might consider to do swap lol

gets me motivated to updated prices on the 97 parts, since now its cheap.. all I would need to do is Repaint the parts to match my White pearl which is quite tough to match.. but as long as its not a different color like black, red, beige.. etc u know .

my 96 front bumper has no paint coming off or any black scratches but I do however see aloot of Cracks/spider webs on the paint, so I want to get it cleaned up. , but trunk/bumper are perfect paint and so for.. but The only reason i want the 97 trunk is the Clear taillights, updated look. and front bumper on 97, if I have to repaint my front bumper... might as well get cheap 97 front bumper and do same thing but more aggressive look I'm looking for.

It's all compatible, but you're going to have some side issues. You'll need to pick up the 98 grill as well for the front to work in conjunction with the bumper cover.

For the rear, you're going to need to pick up the inner tailights as well, as your tailights won't look/flow right with the trunk. 95/96 trunk lids have the 'wave' and 97-99's do not.
