Also, i think the light housings are different... 98 Black Mystique; Duratec/ATX "Mystique, the luxury SVT" P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if the letters Q and R were omitted...

Not sure if the moutning points between the frame and body panals are the same or would need a little work.
