4th gen question.

[Slo86Bird]

would the front end of a 98-02 bird fit a 93-97 bird? like will it bolt right up of would i have to change stuff?


and rear bumper is the same too rite?

[deadtrend1]

rear bumper is the same. the front would need new fenders, hood, along witht he nose

[Mike]

fenders, hood, lights, bumper, bumper support, and probably rad support

[Slo86Bird]

but it would bolt right up if i had the fenders and stuff?

[Saitin]

yeah it's called a front "clip" swap easy to do most expensive part is the headlights at 200.00 a pop unless you get lucky and can find a dirt cheap parts car or a un-ravaged car at a junk yard.
everything will bolt right in and if you do the front might as well do the rear bumper and grab a ws6 hatch as well lawls.

those r my plans if i get ur bird. lol.

[sweetbmxrider]

fenders, hood, lights, bumper, bumper support, and probably rad support

i know the camaros you don't need to do anything with the rad support. but the rest is a yes.

search online. there are nice write ups

that's good writeup for a maro, I cant imagine it being too different on a bird

[Mike]

with the different shape flip up lights, there may be a difference.......

[Slo86Bird]

i read a short write up a little while ago and it said with the lights, the original hole is in the correct place but u need to tap another one so thatd be easy.

[Mike]

Hi here's a thread on how to convert to a 98 front end look i'll be providing you guys with all the information i got. For starters u need new fenders why cause they are shorter for once, two u would need new brackets they're differents u would need the L brackets for left and right side, headlights with motors, front bumper upper support, inner foam there's two of them depending on your conversion if you're going for the firebird look or trans am they are totally different trust me i find out the hard way, front bumper, hood, parking lights, marker lights, fog lights, for your headlights you may wanna buy some 5 pin pigtails connector trust it would make it easier, slash shield both sides, when removing the hood save the latch u might need it for the new one, to align your lines from the headlights to the hood and fenders u have to remove the top cover and bezel there are 3 tork screw loosen them up and the headlight would be loose enough to move up and down, left and right do this before u install the front bumper it would save u a lot of agravation trust me i know. Here are some pictures of my 95 firebird V6 3.4 soon to be a ls1 firebird not t/a, she still a work in progress. Any questions feel free to email i'll be glad to help
