Default 1993 Trans Am front end conversion question

Ok so I'm about to pick up a 1993 Trans am, I've never been a fan of the front end of them and I've seen other people do a conversion to theirs to give it the 98-02 front end and hood. I've spent some time looking but I can't seem to find any of them anymore. So I wanted to know where I could get started and the price of getting something like this. Any answers are appreciated and sorry if this is a double post I didn't find one like it.

Try to find a smashed firebird in a junk yard for the fenders, headlights, window motors, brackets, etc.

Finding a smashed trans am for the front bumper is kind of hard, they are usually picked pretty fast. It is possible though.

you may want to just buy one off eBay, although it may not fit perfect.
if you want a WS6 hood be prepared to spend lots for an OEM hood or go aftermarket.

Well I know it'll cost me a bit extra but I'm going to do the ws6 front end. After looking around a bit more I found that it all just seems to bolt right on to where the other panels were. I think my problem would be the headlights and where to find the little things I need for the conversion.

Wow I don't think I could have asked for anything more descriptive than that. Thanks and it even gave prices for most the pieces, and answered my headlights question. Now I just gotta start ordering the parts
