Default '97 conversion

I was searching and couldn't really find any pics besides a slighty off center one by O.L.T. My question is: how does the 2000 front end look if you keep the pre-97 side skirts and rear. JW your thoughts, if it looks good or if the full swap is the only way.

Thanks,
Nic

pre-97 doesn't have sideskirts at all

Personally I'd say you should do at least the front + sides, it would look alright w/o the rear bumper.

I've never ran a 97 kit without side skirts (or rear)

you need to run it all, including the rear. it's not even if you don't.

Default 97+ conversion...

Do at least the front (97+ front bumper), but if you have the time, do the 97+ sides and rear too...

But - our pre-97+ body still has nice lines to it!

looks decent without the side and rear but if you doing a 97+ conversion you need everything including the taillights .thats jus the way i see it becuse it would be a wanna be 97 without the rest of the conversion i will go all the way with the conversion if i could of locate the parts but for now im keeping it pre 97 until all my 97 parts are collected .still looks sexy newayz

I have the 97 Front and the stock 95 sides and rear, it looks ok in my opinion. i would like to get the sides, but the rear doesn't really matter to me. I like my 95 taillights better than the 97 ones.
