Hey Guys, Quick question I wanna change my 99 bumper to the 01 bumper that has the black and chrome grille instead of the 99 version with the same color unibody grille
Will the 01 bumper just fit into the places bolts and plastic snaps etc , since its the same gen 99-01. Or the holes dont match up at all?
Any info helps

Couple notes

1, The bumpers should boklt on with little problem
2. headlights / side markers different for sure
3. 97-99 and 2000 - 2001 rqdiator supports are different because the headlight bulbs on the 97-99 are the single unit bulbs while 2000-2001 use dual bulbs.

Your biggest obstacle will be the headlights which in turn fit their designated year bumpers.

You can get it to fit, but it will not fit nicely. You may even have to cut the bumper a bit .


But if you install the 00-01 lights you'll have issues with

1. wiring cause its a 2 bulb headlight vs your 1 bulb
2. Physical fitment due to the core support being different

I've seen it done nicely. ive seen it done where its "a bit off" and i've seen it done janky....
