hey guys I have a razzi body kit and I totally messed it up today. The kit is getting pretty old anyway and I was thinking of putting something new on. Would a body kit for a 1996 to 2002 fit my car too or are the bolt holes in different places than the 03. Thanks for the help guys

yes they will fit, but you are gonna have to do some changes though. If you wanna use a 95-99 kit, then you are gonna have to do a headlight conversion, and modify the fenders to allow for a corner lense. If you wanna do a 00-02 kit then you don't have to do a headlight covnersion but you will have to modify the fenders in order for them to accapt a corner lense. You will also have to get a new hood either way. All hoods are the same from 95-02. You also might have to get new front fender walls.

wow, you confused even me and i know how to do the swap...

basically: your fenders are the only things that you'd need to keep for a front end conversion.

for a 95-99 front end, you will need the headlights, bumper, crush guard, hood latch and hood. you will also have to modify the wiring for the headlights since they use 2 bulbs and your car currently only uses 1. you will need a small bracket to attach to the inside of the fenders to hold the corner lights.

for a 00-02 conversion, you will need the headlights, bumper, crush guard, hood latch and hood as well, but you don't have to change the wiring for the headlights, it's the same. also, you won't need the bracket for the corner lights on the fenders, so you're good there.

you can get a 95-99 bumper and put it with the 00-02 headlights, but you need to modify the bumper to fit under the headlights. that just involves a little trimming, nothing too difficult.

thanks for the help guys but I don't think ill go through with all that work

Which bumper are you looking at?
If you're looking at a fiberglass kit, you could modify the bumper from a 95-99 or 00-02 bumper to fit the 03+ headlights and hood. That could give you something a little unique. However, there aren't many kits that weren't made for the 03+.
I think most of the ones that weren't are urethane. A little more work to modify.
