98 and up front end conversion

how hard would it be to do a 98 and up front end conversion to my car... i want to get the newer look i love how they look....

The only problem is money

You need a couple of brackets off of the 98+ cars, but other than that it's just the body panels and the headlight assemblies.

Plus hood.
Check out the salvage yards. They usually only want to sell the entire "front clip" as a whole, and I thought they were a tad expensive, but you can get a price check from your local salvage yard guy or body shop guy.
If the headlight assemblies aren't included in the front clip, each assembly is about $400 new, plus painting. you might as well get a custom hood, and SLP has that really nice one with the huge hoodscoops, I think it was aro8und $700.

Insomnya has the hookup for a 98+ front clip. When you do it I want your 93-97 Clip.

Yea i definitley perfer the 98-02 body style on birds over the LT1 cars, the LT1 cars look to pointy for me

[94firebird21]

i agree...i like flatter front end....and i like the light set up better too

[phoenix_rising]

I'll stick with my LT1 thanks! Much more like a jet!

hood

if you are gonna do the kit and need a hood, i know this guy with a 00 trans am that isnt gonna need his after this week. it is already black(no ram air) and in excellent shape. i think he could cut you a deal on it, it is off my car. i got my ram air hood in the paint shop right now, it should be on the car friday. let me know if you need it and we can talk. my dad might be selling his hood also, it is off a 99 no ram air, it is more glossy then mine cause he waxes his car all the time and details it everytime he goes to a show. it has a red bird on it. i like it, but i like the ram air better..

I could also use a spare front clip for a 98 - 02 Z28. If anyone runs across one of those, keep me in mind.

Thanks
