Im goin to use an existing bumper to make the model, I want to modify the 1995 contour bumper, my question is: does this bumper fit in the 1998 contour? or should i Use the 1998 bumper. this is because here in México the 1998 bumper is more expensive.

im not sure what you are asking but it sounds like you want to use a 95 for a project bumper on your 98. That will not work because of the differences in headlights. You will have to use a 98+ bumper and cut and mold a new bumper to that.

The 95 bumper will not fit your 98 mainly due to the headlights and the existance of turn signal lenses on the pre 98 cars. Also, the bumper will not stick out far enough since the post 98 bumpers stick out about 4-5" further.
