Default Bumper Question 96/98

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone knew if a new(er) body style trans am front bumper (98 and up) would fit on a 96 trans am? Whoever had my car before me wrecked it and put a new body style hood on it, but it has the old body style bumper and it looks really goofy. Any suggestions? Thanks

Um... I'd like to see a pic of this, because as far as I know it wouldn't even come CLOSE to matching up or closing. You'd have to change the fenders out as well as a bunch of other stuff to make it look like the newer style.

There are aftermarket hoods for '93-'97 models that look like '98-'02 models. There's no way to keep your hood and switch the bumper out. The headlight assemblies are different, as well as every other component. Take a look at a few pics and you'll know what I mean.
