from what i know..... no. the 99-00 have different headlights which makes the hood different.

no it won't. where the hood meets the front bumper on either side of the grill, it is wider on the 96-98. try to find some pics you'll see. so, the 99-00 hoods should bolt on, but they won't be long enough in those areas to line up with the headlights/grill. i know, it sucks, you find a good deal on 1 part, but in order to use it you need to buy 4 others! :(
