front ends, 92-99
I guess this is where I should put this, otherwise go ahead and move it. I'm thinkin I want to change my front end over to the 96-99 body style. This is everything I want to do:
headlights
grille
fenders
And I have a few questions. What all will have to be replaced to put on the fenders and headlights? Also, will the grille line up right with my existing bumper?

With the newer grille you are going to need the newer bumpers. Same thing with the headlamps or you will have nasty gaps.
Also, consider just getting a newer car.... I tried doing this with my 95, but cost'* and the labor were a pain, especially when adapting the rear bumper to the 92-95 SE/SLE'*. Same thing with door mouldings.

Yes, you definitely would have to change out the bumper covers too. I've seen that first hand.
Unless you're in for a large (and costly unless you have a donor car) project, you might want to learn to love your year or save up for a newer one. That'* my opinion only, so take it for that.
