I did the conversion check out my conversion... I ebayed all the parts... You will probably have to do the same... Heads up GM doesn't make the lights anymore and they cannot be ordered.... do not trust your parts counter... I'm still on the waiting list and my car is done... 7 months later.... Just plan on ebaying most of your parts or finding parts here and there on these sites.

I just replaced the front clip on my '02 with new gm parts. The fenders are about $170 each, the front bumper cover is $370, foam absorber is about $90, afermarket ws6 hood was $400. I was able to use the headlight assemblies. The fog lights were used; $60, new gm blinkers were $35 ea. I don't know if you need hood hinges; $20 ea. I've got less then $1400 into a new GM front clip. I don't think it is worth the work to sand out chips and scraches to paint used parts when new parts will not cost much more. I have seen aftermarket bumpers and fenders on ebay. The bumpers are a lot cheaper then the GM ones. PM me if you need part #s or exact prices.

He makes a decent point you can get alot of the parts from GM.. The headlights you can not and will cost you about $700 on ebay for the set.. maybe more maybe less. I've seen driver side headlights assembs go for $600 each...
although he's right on prices I converted my 95 formula (firebird) to an 02 T/A for less than 2k
That means new hatch, new rear bumper cover, side skirts and the whole front clip including 1 ws9 ram air hood. All my parts excepts the lamps and absorber were all Gm parts. actually my front bumper cover was brand new and I only paid $250 after shipping..
