Default changing front clips?

Taking the T.A to the paint shop on monday.Im buying a ram air hood with functional air box and high flow filter the whole package around 1,100.00$ well my question is can I buy a bumper cover for a 1998-2002 and the hood for a 1998-2002 and bolt them right up or do I have to mess with headlights and a bunch of other stuff?Also isnt the hood the same on my 96 as the 1998-2002?Let me know what u think thnx Gary

Nope, much different, and its' a real task to do a front end swap. You'll be doing front fenders forward for the swap.

As was said, its a rather large undergoing to swap from the early 4th to late 4th front end. But I agree, the hood will make it look alot better
