    yes it will fit. I have seen it done.
    You may need to drill holes in the bumper's mounting brackets, as I am not sure if the bolt holes of the 96 will be perfectly aligned.

    Anyway, there's not that much tinkering involved, from what I know

    Near whitey mesa Drive, SECTA and Ethel M Chocolates.
    It does not have the turn signal lights and the drivers side corner chrome piece has some bubbling under the chrome. If he wants to pick it up let me know
