It will be much cheaper. Older bumper you can pick up anywhere from $50-150. 97+ is like 350+

Definitely one of the best renditions of a mixed pre-97 front bumper and lip with post-97 side skirts and rear bumper. That is a good look. I still like the post 97 bumper better, but your ride ROCKS!! Paint matches too!!!
