I was wondering how you get the parts to change your bumper for a 95- 96 RMM lip. Any advice would be helpful. Thanx

Just like with any other conversion - research!

See if the Gen3 and Gen3.5 bumpers have the same mounting points, bumper reinforcements, etc. From that point, determine what you need to get. For sure, you'll need to change the headlight and grill.

A Haynes manual and access to parts microfiche are valuable assets for doing research like this. I know it can be done because I've seen pics from guys who have done it. Try http://www.camryman.org to see if that person still checks that board.

The conversion is not as complex as most people think. All you do is trim down the middle piece (the part that goes up to meet the grille). Once you do that, you're set...no need for headlights or grille.

Here's a pic of mine...
