  • 98 front end conversion

    All what pieces are needed?

    i just think the front end on my 94 looks too Rigid. plus i really like the halo lights ... and the SS hood looks better on the 98 plus


    what all is needed in order to do this?
    how much would parts be from a junk yard?

    Looks like you'll need everything in front of the doors replaced and maybe even some support pieces behing the fascia. I need to do some research again on fiberglass but if I'm succesfull I plan on replacing my hood and fenders with fiberglass copies, get to toy around with painting them and might even save a pound or two

    Try find someone thats done the firebird conversion and talk to them about it. I'd assume the camaro would be easier.

      now, im not sure how useful those threads are going to be. It seems you can pick up a kit from different junkyards here and there. from what i was reading prices were around the 2000 dollar range for the parts. the specific parts you will need are listed in some of those threads. Billygrams might have somethingfor you. Try giving them a call. I doubt that tacreationsusa.com will have anything like that. Ebay is probably one of your best bets.

        heres a ?:

        why would you want to. i know some people like the 98+ front ends, but like 80% of the people i talk to like the 93-98 fronts, cause they dont look like a Chrysler sebring.

        i knwo what you mean with the SS hood, and i think that the 98+ front end looks good with the SS hood too, but overall, and id have to say even considering the hood, the pre 98's look better.

            I can't remember if it was Ta Creations or who but one company makes a kit for like 1,500. Nice deal too.

              Before you buy anything, ask around there are alot of 98+ guys that want 93-97 front ends, you could swap.
