96 to 97-99 front end conversion

[sparco431]

hey guys

i was just wondering what parts i have to change for the front end of my car to look like the 97-99. i need to get a new bumper anyways so i thought why not change a couple parts here and there to make it look nicer. i was thinking just the bumper and the headlights right?? but wiill the 97-99 parts fit on it?? its a 96 gst by the way

thanks

Yes, you just need the 97-99 style bumper and headlights.

it will all bolt on right??? no modifications

 

[chico904]

Yes it will bolt right up. No need to drill any extra holes, or anything.

Correct, it is a bolt on affair.

It will fit. I did it on my 95 GSX with no problem. just make sure you have the right head lights.. good luck

i did it to a 95 talon the hardest part was taking the old headlights out!

Does the wing bolt on too? It kinda looks like its mounted in a different place. The 97+ wing is sexy.

Yes, direct bolt on as well. If you currently have the 3-piece wing however, you will have holes showing if you switch to the high rise spoiler.

i also did the conversion, i have a 95 gsx (if you cant tell by my name) and everything bolts up nicely, now i just have to figure out how im gonna fill the holes in from the 3 piece wing when i switched to the high wing. check out automotix.net and choose auto body parts and enter any eclipse from 97 and up for the front bumper, lights, and high wing, pretty cheap and pretty fast shipping.
