98 + up front end conversion

My car is wrecked and I need to buy a front bumper, grill, foglights and a hood and I was wondering what else I need for the front end conversion. I know I need headlights, what else do I need? Is it just a bolt up change?

Thanks in advance
Adam

You'll need both fenders and all brackets. Everything else you mentioned and that should be it. And yes, it is just a bolt on change.

Great. Been going strong since May when I broke it out. After I finally figured out the which one went on which side and then which way it went on that side lol. That was a PITA but once I got it, everything went smoothly. Thanks again.

Adam - Did you do the swap yet? I'm interested in putting the newer front end on my '95 Z28.

Re: 98 + up front end conversion

I ended up not doing it because of cash reasons. I bought an ss hood and a 9 inch instead with the cash I saved. Once I started looking into the parts it got kind of expensive with the fenders and headlights unless you go to non- oem stuff. The body where my car is said that stuff never fits right. If you do it good luck. I may still do it in the future.
