for a 97 gt i dont believe the crush guard is diff.. i put a 00-02 gt on mine and i had to trim mine to fit....the bunper is also longer and sticks out more so the bottom plastic didnt reach either

if it doesnt u can trim the plastic with a razor..i mean its basically the same bumper just with round marker lights.....there are 2 plasic peices i had to cut in half so my markers would fit and theyre in roughly the same place..just dont be afraid to make it work.lol but it should fit with no problem...i will say i had to take my 2 front rims off to get a good angle at some of the bolts...

I have a 97 se, and the crush guard is different between a SE and a GT. Big difference.

The only differance is where the round singnal lights are on the gt but there's no crush guard there anyway the top of the bumper is the same , I'm gonna but it on in a couple days when I have a day off, I also think I'm gonna but clear lights in the round singnals so it looks like fogs, has anyone done this?

I have no idea. If you turn them into fog lights though, you won't have front marker lights which won't be legal and/or safe.

U will prolly just have to wire them in as fogs, instead of trying to use the blinker plug in... and i believe u will still have blinkers on the side of the bumper

It would be nice if I could get the fog to flash on and off when I use my blinkers, or mabey some how get anothe bulb in there some how mabey a smaller on like the side marker

The SE crush gaurd gets in the way of the GT bumper. I know because I have a GT bumper in my garage. I cut alot of the gaurd, but was still not fitting right. Easier route is to get the correct crush gaurd. Now not sure I will ever mount the kit.

I ordered some white led lights for the gt front blinkers to use as fog lights, since the fog will be only on half brightness until I hit the blinker and it flashes, will it stil be bright whe not flashing since leds take less power to run?
