did everything fit right with the bumper?

yes it did.

Looks better with the right bumper tho =P But thats me being picky

Nice Job
 

Looks like alot of work though what gave you the idea to change over?Just me but I like the way the 96 headlights and grill look.

actually the bravada bumper looks better...lol

I always liked the look of the 98 and newer front end and had planned to switch mine at some point. When I got pulled over for a burned out headlight (I still had the old style front end) I took that as my motivation to convert to the 98 style front end. The new front end puts out more light going down the road. And it is much easier/cheaper to change a single bulb instead of replacing the whole glass headlight.
