Default is it possible?

is it possible to take a 2000 to a 2002, Nose, Headlights, and ram air hood. and put them on a 95 firebird formula? I love my LT1, but i really dont like the pointed nose and the square headlights. is it possible to convert this?thanks for the advice.

p.s. ur best bet is to buy a front clip of a 98 up firebird of your choice so u have all the parts.

know it will be expensive though, some dude provided the new front clip for his white 96 camaro and we still charged him a quick G for install including paint for the new parts. so if you don't intend on doing it yourself just be ready.

I hang out with a guy who has an LT1 and he has the same plans. From what he told me, it's a simple bolt on procedure, nothing complicated to it at all.

I believe you will also need the fenders. I have seen it done with a camaro. They needed hood, lights, fenders and front clip.
