i recently got into an accident with my '95 contour. i need a new hood, and was looking around in junk yards. my friend said he has a '98 hood in my color and i was wondering if i were to but a '98 grill and '98 headlights if this would fit in somewhat ok. if anyone knows or if anyone has tried this please reply for me.

You also are going to need the 98 fenders and 98 front bumper, and you will need the 98 mount pannel. As well as the headlights and grill.

Not just grille and headlights .. bumper and fenders too at the least, probably more. It's only really worth the cost if you either plan to keep the car forever or already have it extensively modded (as tour96se does).

I read a while back that you need to modify the subframe corners so the headlights will clear.
Might as well just swap the whole front clip...

Do it man! Do it! Don't let a bit of challenge stop you. I think the hood deal in the same color is enough to start the ball rolling.
We had an '05 Focus guy in Dezert Focus change that ugly new front end to an '04, which meant the same sorts of challenges and he shopped for all correctly colored parts and didn't end up having to paint anything. Very nice job and he hadn't damaged the car, just wanted to get the good front end looks back. It was well worth it.....

i wish i would've been that lucky...i thought i was gonna be able to do that,but the guy decided to keep the whole car(sentamental reasons)...so i have white fenders and hood,primer gray header panel and a silver frost svt front bumper...
