Default Front End Conversion Help

I need to know what parts to order to complete my front end conversion on my 1995 Firebird to 1998-2002 body style Trans Am? I currently have the following major parts

WS9 Ram Air Hood
Left Fender
Right Fender
Left Fog Light
Right Fog Light
Front Bumper Cover
Impact Bar
Left Side Marker
Right Side Marker
Left (front) turn signal lamp
Right (front) turn signal lamp
Left Headlight Assembly (complete with bezel/motor/lid)
Right Headlight Assembly (*** check below)

Can someone tell me EXACTLY what else I need to down to the bolts???

I've seen conversion threads on here and other sites but don't really tell you what parts you need exactly.

***I bought a so called "complete assembly" from someone online and when I received it, the wires were cut from the motor/light so the plug is missing too. Is there a wiring kit I can get or what am I suppose to do about that?

I appreciate any help as this is a nightmare figuring out and i'm already to deep to turn back so reserve any comments about go buying a real trans am please.

P.S. On the list of the parts for gmpartsdirect it says part of the complete bumper assembly is "molding assembly" that are $300+ a piece?? What is this exactly? Ground effect on the front bumper?

There aren't a whole lot of threads that tell exactly everything you need down to bolts and what not, because most people just buy wrecked t/a or roller and just start swapping parts over. the only thing i can tell is do what im doing and just start it and start finding out what you need as you go...
