well, if your planning on using the entire svt fascia without the pre 98 fascia, your going to have to get creative. Its a pain in the butt and requires a lot of fabrication as you can see due to the difference in headlights and different shape grill. I was the first and only person to do it this way back in the day. Ahh, the good ole days of CEG.  Heres what I came up with.
Perhaps not the most aesthetically pleasing to some, but I thought it looked okay considering nothing was available as far as aftermarket was concerned when i made it. However, my dad took a friend for a ride in my car last summer and upon pulling into the driveway, bottomed out the splitter which took a nice chunk out of it and really cracked the paint. I decided to go ahead and mold the pre 98 fascia to the svt fascia.
Heres what I got just like everyone else.
