RETRo fit 97- fenders on 98+

Got em on today. i remember reading someplace they don't fit but they do. the hood is extremely off so we just put washers on teh front to lift the hood in the front and back. fits perfect.

yes all 98-08 are interchange able you stated in your Title...


RETRo fit 97- fenders on 98+
so you said 93-97 on a 98+ it will bolt up but nothing will match in the front.. unless you have a major typo
