just to know, would a 98+ hood fit onto a pre98 with modification to the grill area?

I know the grill/light area wouldn't but would the top and sides fit?

I have a friend who does custom body work... and i'm a fan of the 98+ front end.

You would need to do A LOT of work. The pre-98 sticks out a little in the grille area. It also makes contact with the bumper. You also need to figure in for differend slopes in the the fenders. The post 98s are also a lot flatter then the pre 98s. If you want to get custom, make a post-98 Mystique hood fit a post-98 Contour!

In all, I would look at buying a hood out of the junkyard. If your friend is into body work he would probably thank you when all he had to do was some slight prep work.

Have fun.
