Reznor, add me to your contact list cuz we're on the same boat. Maybe we can help each other out. Ryan, did you have to buy the LS1 impact absorber, or did you shave your exsisting one?

fender replacement?

Of those of you in the know or have already done this swap...if you already have good fenders, do they need replacing to do this swap? On a parts order page, they appear to look identical to the 98+ fenders. I just want to be absolutely sure before I start ordering parts. I want to order everything all at once to alleviate shipping costs and hassles.
Thanks,

That would be great Reznor. At first I thought maybe the larger plastic bracket might have to be BEHIND the hedalight brackets, but then it's impossible that way, plus I saw a picture of the setup and I knew it wasn't correct. Any pictures you can snap would be great. Maybe some of the headlight weather stripping, because I don't really know how it's suppose to look. Also what did you do about the last two fender holes??? Mine are about an inch above the frame and don't line up, it is impossible to line them up, they look like they need soem L-Brackets, so if you could snap some pics of the front of the fenders where they bolt up under the hood, that would be great. Thanks Alot ALOT!
