Default Put 98-02 fender on 95 formula?

Is it possible to put a 98-02 firebird fender on a 1995 firebird formula? Or do they make any aftermarket fenders that look like the 98-02 fenders? Also the same question for the front bumper.

The fenders fit but they 98-02 have the air ports on em and 93-97 don't. And I'm not sure about the front bumper

Thanks. Yeah I know I like the look of the air ports better. But I don't know if it would look right on a 95. Have you ever seen this done before?

Yes I'm planning on putting the ws6 hood on it and basically change as much as I can to make it look like the newer ones. And yes the powertrain also.

The 93-97 & 98-02 front ends do not share a single body panel with each other. Therefore, if you want to use a 98-02 fender on your 93-97 'bird, you must swap the entire front end in order for it to work. You can't mix the "LT1-era" and "LS1-era" body panels together.
