03-05 Sunfire rear swap?
Monday, April 16, 2012 7:54 PM
I have a 97 Sunfire and I was wondering if I could swap to and 03-05 rear bumper and light setup. Or at least how hard it is to modify

Assuming it's a coupe you will need the rear bumper tail lights reverse lights and trunk filler piece(not the whole trunk, take the black piece and bolt up the newer body colour style. Hope you understand).

Remove the filler panel and tails... 10mm socket

Remove the rear bumper cover... Phillips screw driver, 15mm socket (I think) and something to remove the Christmas tree clips.

Install is reverse.

See sig, 03+ on a 97

Wish I had done it on my '96. Doing it on a 00-02 is a tad more work because of having to reroute the reverse lights back to the trunk lid.

As long as you can find a yard to sell you the filler w/o having to buy the whole darn trunk.
