How To Convert your 93 thru 97 to a 98 to 02 Hi i just wanted to make a post on how to convert your 93 thru 97 to a 98 & 00 look, i'll be listing everything i used to convert my car.
1- new fenders left and right side they could be used it doesnt matter look in ebay i found mines there.
2- new brackets why your new fenders lenght its shorter and the set up is diferent so therefore your gona need upper and lower brackets for both sides also L brackets left and right.
3- upper support bar, it holds your headlights and bumper in place.
4- front bumper impact bar is different 93 to 97 is longer, the new ones are shorter because of the foam.
5- inner foam depending on wich look u go for they are both different.
6- headlights with motors, make sure u test the motors before instaslling it u could find a brass gear in ebay it be worth it, if u took the time to test them. Also buy two 5 pin connector pig tails it would make it easier for wiring, also to get all your lines straight before installing your front bumper put your headlights and hood, remove the headlights door and bezel there you find 3 torkz screw loosen them up, now your headlight can move up and down, left and right until your happy with your alignment then tighten them up.
7- parking lights, depending on the look your going for firebird or trans am they're different.
8- marker lights for the front bumper.
9- the hood, save the lacht you may need it for the new one.
10- front bumper and license plate cover
11- fog lights, you could wired them to your parking lights so when you turn your park lights they would come on and stay on even with your high beams.
I hope this would help and answer any question you may have. Feel free to email me here is a link to pictures of my conversion before and after.

Cool and all but I would have go and get myself a 98-02 model. I believe is too much of a hassle and I think the LT1 TA front looks very nice also. Instead I would have transplanted a LS1 there!!

about that give and take, but made all my money back by selling all the parts and made doudle of what i spend. So basically it cost me nothing, also is not a hassle as long as u know what u r doing everything goes the same way it came off.

Thats the beauty u get to appreciate her more since u build her, is something u cheris and take pride is not the same saying i bought a 98 than saying i build myself one.
