should i?
i'm thinking of getting a '97+ trunk lid. the place where i'm going to get it from wants $375, shipping will be an additional $86.80. i'm going to have to get it repainted also because the trunk lid is white. why am i doing this? since i'm going to convert my front bumper and grill to the 97+ one, i thought why not complete it? i would need the clear/red outer tail lenses though. btw, the trunk lid is non spoiler type. is the price too high or about right?
It will look weird having the inner part from the 97+ taillights (red part on top) and the outer part from the 95-96 taillights (red on bottom). They might not even match up size-wise, I think the 95-96 taillights might be a half inch or so taller than 97s. They look like it to me.

anyway, i think if you kept looking you could find a much better deal on a trunk that is already black and has a spoiler.

a guy in the southeast forum did it. i emailed him about the outer lenses, so i'll have to wait and see what he has to say.
