Nice little fleet you got going on there. I have a complete waggy front clip that I was thinking about putting on my 95. I like my 00's front end so I wouldn't be putting it on that. Good to know the harness wasn't that hard to deal with.

Just make sure you have the harness for the headerpanel you plan to put on
