Later Model front bumper upgrade
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
All,
I have a 98 black/black vert that has just had major body modifications done to the front end due to my teenage daughter backing her Cherokee into it yesterday. The body shop has indicated that I will need a new hood, bumper surround, grille and assorted ancillary parts. I've searched but have been un able to determine if a later (05) front bumper and grill would be a bolt in modification since the parts have to be replaced anyway. Anyone have any experience/recommendations? I am also contemplating an XKR hood as well.
Thanks much

Easy fit done it over 60 times
Thanks for the heads up Steve
Also IMO the biggest difference is where the bumper bolts just in front of the hood, you will need some 5/8ish (16mm) spacers in 4 places, the ends bolt up the same so do the fenders. Yes Chaz is right you will need the wheel liner extensions and a new/different under tray. You also need different fog lights
