nope they were factory assembled like that

edited...looked at wrong photo'* and links! oopps

umm, completely different auction...

You will find many SE'* with the GT/GTP front end. It'* very common.

Really? It'* a first for me. There are probably more in your location.....

GP'* are quite plentiful around here. I think a certain year they went back to the GT front end so every trim level was uniform.

for the ebay that was posted it is an se and has a 3.1 according to the vin and http://www.carfax.com/cfm/check_orde...&PopUpStatus=0

Here is the thing. 1997-200 the SE'* had there own special grill from the GT-GTP. Now, in 2001, YES the SE'* had the same front as the GT/GTP BUT, the SE dindt have the grey middle. The SE'* grill/bumper were all the same color. The GT/GTPs had the color of the car but at the bottom was grey. That is how you can tell the cars appart.

off topic, but isnt this a bonneville? i saw it on the carfax site-

Nope. Its a picture with a lady on it saying "I wanted a Mitsubishi but I was afraid to buy a lemon....."
