Default 95 to 98 Trans Am front end conversion kit?

Does this exist? I have found a couple decent LT1 Trans Ams in my price range but I really dont like the flat look that the 93-97's have, the aggressive styling of the 98+ looks so much better in my opinion.

If this does exist... could someone tell me how much it is and give me a link?

Can the 98+ hood, bumper, and fenders be bolted on to the previous generation?

Yea its been done. Everyone says I should do it but I am the oppisite of you, I LOVE the slick, smooth, clean(not as many vents and swiss cheese has holes) styling on the ram air LT1 cars, like mine

Everything will match up pretty easily from what I have heard about the conversions.
