Default question on front end swap

what all do you have to do to change a 95 front end over to a 98 front end I know head lights, hood, front bumper...but do you need to change the core support? Just seeing if its something I really want to get into. Any help would be great and thanks in advance

Save your money for performance upgrades. It costs a ton of money just to make your car look like a catfish.

Also, stock injectors are 24lbs and the Hypertech doesn't do much other than change fan control temps.

You can buy a front bumper which looks like the 98+ yrs. Except it is made to fit the early 4th gen. Of course, you won't get the headlight style but IMO I would just keep the stock headlight setup.

People don't seem to understand that stock injectors don't become a bottleneck until you're pushing more than 400 at the wheels. The same goes for ported throttle bodies, airfoils, and fancy MSD ignition. The stock components either work or they don't and for your mods the gain is very marginal.

LOL you pay inadvance, You have to wait until they get 5 orders from then it takes 4-6 months. Ha there is a 80% chance I will still have this car a year from now when it shows up.
