Experts on converting 97 lowbeams to 98+

Im trying to do the conversion from 1997 camaro lowbeams to 98+ i know i need 98+ style front bumper, hood, and front quarter panels. I was wondering if i used 1998 "Venice Body Kit" would i be able to use that instead? Other words can i use the venice body kit to replace front bumber,and front quarter panels. Also i was wondering if i wanted to buy ram air II hood, would i have to buy 98+ if im doing the conversion on the low beams? thanks in advance!!!

below is a pic of the venice body kit just incase you were wondering

You could go with that kit probably fine but you would probably need all the body mounts/hangers that go with the conversion. I do not know what a ram air II hood is, you just want an SS hood, since the kit probably will fit poorly you could go with just about any SS hood.

If you want to change your lowbeam headlights to LS1 style, why don't you just do a bulb conversion instead of spending over $1000 to make your car look worse?

Thats what I meant by the headlight conversion.

For the hood just keep in mind if you went ahead and got that front body kit along with 98+ camaro fenders, you would need a hood for a 98+ car. I say just upgrade the headlights and go with an LT1 SS hood. It will look much better and night time driving will be good as well.
