I'm doing the front end conversion...

[diddy0071]

My Tax Returns came in today. I pretty much have $600 Dollars to play with, and I want to do the front end conversion from my 1997 to the 1998 style. SO far, I've found the Grill Assembly, the Headlights, and the Parking Lights on ebay, but I can't find the Radiator Core support, the front bumper, or the valance, and I don't know where to look. I'll be posting pictures, as well as making a "HOW-TO" guide to doing the front end conversion simply because I could never really find the right help needed at the right time. Anyways, since I have grown fond of these forums, does anyone know where I can get the missing parts, without resorting to dealer prices? if I do have to resort to dealer prices, does anyone have an Idea what each missing part will run me?

The total for the grill, the headlights and the parking lights is already 299 Dollars, so I still have 300 to kill. Any help would gladly be appreciated.

You can get the Core Support from http://www.fastbodyparts.com they have pretty low prices. How much was your Grill?

I haven't purchased anything YET. I'm still getting estimates, and looking where to buy stuff. But, I found the grill on Ebay for 85.89 so that isn't bad.

$85.89 doesn't sound bad, but $40 for shipping sounds a little over priced.

yeah it's overpriced, but what is the shipping cost for that parts store?

That's pretty much the look I'm going for, except the billet grille. I don't like it. Otherwise, everything else is what I'm getting. Those headlights, the turn signal lights are going to be the euro-blacks so It will look better. Plus I'll save about 3-4 hundred dollars.
