How much did it cost you to get them from Jonas? Because if it cheaper then Corksport, I might be interested. Thanks.

I think I can answer this one for Bruce. Yes, they will. You will only need to get the center piece from a 97-98 model at the junk yard or something.

There are not any. Only the custom made ones. If you happen to know who custom makes them, and have a lot of money, then buy them.

and what about the 97 front grille, can i swap that onto my car?

NOPE. [list=1][*]95's have a plastic piece that goes under the headlight and it then meets the grill in the middle. On the 97s there is no plastic piece under the headlights
[*]95 grill has a curve that meets that plastic piece mentioned above and 97 don't. The grill is straight angle down[/list=1]
