I have a friend selling his 96 sport and it has the gas tank skid plate on it.im interested in buying it off of him. Will that skid fit 97+ with little or no modification? I have a factory hitch on my 99, would i have to remove it? Also how much should i offer him for it?

The skid will fit with a little mod. I'm in the middle of fitting one to my '97. The rear edge will need bending down, with the side welds cut. I'm also going to pack the fixing bolts 1/4" as the skid seems to pull up on my tank slightly.
As for the hitch, can't help you.

if he is a friend he should let you take it, but other than that 5-10 bucks is more than enough
check my build thread in my sig one of the last couple pages shows the mods needed
