I heard the outer tails are interchangible.... so if one was to get a 97-99 trunk lid with the tails, would it work? But again, the outer tails won't fit that well, because the corners are curved, right?
enlighten me please
Re: Is a 97-99 rear conversion possible on a 95-96?

yeap, it is possible, the outside tail lights are the same shape, and if you replace the trunk then you can yse the 97-99 tail lights, it's definatly possible, goodluck

I just recently got into an accident, and had to get a new hood, bumper, headlight, and corner light. I could have ordered the 97 style grille, but I kept with the 95-96. I just like it better. That is, except for the cheepness of the bumper, and the foglights having less tecture than 97+.
How do you get a whole new trunk? Do you guys mean just the lid? Or do you need a new bumper and rear fenders? Because aren't the rear fenders part of the entire frame/body? You can't just swap them out. the corners of the fenders above the tailights are also curved so if you put in the straight 97-99 tails on it wouldn't that look weird? I'd really like to see some pics of this conversion. I think the 97-99 a$$ looks way better, the same goes for the front end. One of the reasons I got a 97+ was the looks.

Andy, I'm just asking for reference, relax buddy
what I'm understanding you want different lights, then all you need is to get a different trunk lid, that's it, and you're golden
you can also replace the bumper, we have members who have done that already and they say it's a plug'n play thing, really easy, you can just change the bumpers by themselfs
It is very hard to tell between 95-96 bumpers and 97-99 bumpers but being that I have been searching for months I just noticed whether the seller knows the year or not I noticed the 95-96 bumpers license plate has to square cut outs and the 97-99 does not and also has a 4 inch line going through.

Did you look at the date before you posted at all?
