Question Swap photos

I know it is possible to do a front end swap but does anyone have photos of a early (92-97) 4th gen front end swap to a later(98-2002) 4th gen camaro? The reason is the early 4th gens models are cheaper to buy, but I like the front end of the later 4th gen. An any tips or pointers would be nice. Thanks in advanced.

My friend did it with his 96 after some one ran a red and took off his nose.

You will need:
Hood
both fenders
bumper cover
foam reinforcement
headlights
brackets inside the fenders
"header panel" (plastic part that holds the center of the bumper cover)
Inner fender splash guards
Fog lights and brackets

I think that is about it, it all bolts on with no issues except the lower headlight bracket needs holes drilled. If you opt not to drill them the lights still mount good.

arent the lt1 fronts stronger though? since they have that hard honeycomb thing behind the bumper rather than the foam?

They are both about the same really. Neither will survive more than a 5mph hit, that is all they are designed to withstand.
