    ok. so i see there seems to be 2 styles of front bumper for the 97 - 03 grand prix. symbol between grille, w/ plate below, and symbol above grille, w/ plate to side of grille. mine happens to be the second one unfortunatly. i was curious if i could get the other kind, or any other of the other stylish bumpers for my car? do they fit and all anyway?

    i actually just talked to a contact of mine at auto body supply that said the bumper support is the same for both bumpers. so that means the gt bumper should just bolt up then if im not mistaken?

    Be aware that most new aftermarket bumpers for these cars don't come with the "hole" for the arrowhead. This means
    A.) You have no arrowhead on your car
    OR
    B.) You put a badge overlay on it, but still not having the depth of the actual badge

    Just a heads up.
