Default Front end conversion

Okay guys, I know that this has probably been covered many times, but I was wondering on how to convert my 1993 Trans Am's front end to the 1998-2002 style front end. I know that the newer parts bolt right up. Does anyone sell the complete kits? Is there a complete list of parts available that I need? Has anyone else in here done this to their 1993-1997 Trans Am? If so, how difficult was it to do? Are any of my existing parts on my front end compatible? This is my project that will get me through the winter, so if you guys can help, I would really appreciate it. I am really excited to get started, but I'm not sure of all the parts I need, and if I could get a complete kit, then I wouldn't need a parts list. Most people would just buy a 1998 or newer, but I have way too much money in this car to give it up now. Thanks for helping me out in advance guys.

Don't know about the TA, but the camaro replaces:
Hood
Bumper cover
Bumper Support
both fenders
headlight bar (Although I believe that a 93-97 can be modified to work for an 98-02)

Splash guards are the same.


I suppose those same parts need to be replaced on a TA (not sure there's a light bar and what is different about the lights). I hope this helps a lil bit.
