    Passenger side is next to perfect, drivers side used to have condensation but I took a hair dryer too it and sealed it up. But the black grid is faded.

      The taillights don't bother me THAT much, but if I could trade for some that I like more then I'd love to.

      Does this mean rear bumper is a direct swap too?
      Only changes I know of are minor between the 93-97 and 98-02. Center Console changed in '97, instrument cluster changed in '96, front end changed in '98. Everything on the exterior of the car was the same between 93-02 from the doors back. Rear bumpers were identical, so if you want to switch to the Trans Am rear bumper, any T/A bumper from '93-'02 will bolt right up.

        Awesome, good to know! Thanks for the info.

        I much prefer the 98-02 front, but I'd rather go fast than look good so it'll happen in due time.

          You won't like the LS1 front end when your turn signal burns out almost every other day.. Lol

            Not if you check your voltage and switch to LED's.

              I'll just leave them out and use hand signals, it's weight reduction! Lol

                ok, was looking to trade for a mint set, but they need to be perfect.

                      I upgraded to the 98-02 style and sold my lt1 grid lights for more than what I bought the 98+ style for. If yours are in good condition, maybe try selling them first. They bring good money on ebay.

                        Yeah I thought about that. It would be much easier to meet someone and trade.
