Default 98-02 Front Clip

I really love the look of the newer WS6 F bodies. I wanted to get a war bird hood for my car but now have been debating just switching the whole front clip. How hard would it be to do??? I have a 97 Formula and want to put a 98-02 Formula front clip and WS6 hood. Any ideas???

I think you're gonna need fenders too. Should be all bolt on though, I would think.

Hopefully someone with definite info will come along to confirm or deny soon.

Forgot about the lights too. lol

You know, the funny thing is, I have a 2002, but I really want an LT1 body style. (in addition to, mind you, not in place of) I kinda think it looks better actually. Something about the shaper, pointier nose and the sleeker, lower slung look over the wheels.

Actually kinda like the 4th Gen "A" Firebirds and Formula's too. That whole LT1 look is just growing on me for some reason. (Though for the T/A, it was kinda my "first love", if you will, for the 4th Gens. Took me a long time to come 'round to the LS1 styling)

I like the LT1 formulas front clip, but not the T/A so much.
