How many bolts holding the front bumper?
I'am in the process of replacing my 1998 bumpers to "sports 2000 bumpers".
Rear bumber done. sides skirts done. How many bolts holding the front bumper? I thought I saw two but I just wanna make sure before I start the process. I will post the car's picture when it's all done. It will be one color ... no more black color around the bottom of the car

My rear bumper does not have a cut out for muffler. It's a sports bumper but not the E55 model. I got the bumpers from a friend of mine who works for "Bay Area Bumpers".

The rear bumper and side skirt are interchangable between the 96-99 and 00-02. However, the front bumper won't fit.

Like was said, the front end is different so the front bumper will not fit.
The rear and the side skirts fit and it is a good idea to change the moldings on the doors too. The chrome strips are in a different place.
Other 2000+ parts that are good to upgrade too are the blinker mirrors and the rear deck shelf with the 3rd brake light.

Have them ship it vis Greyhound bus. Shipping is only $50 or so unlike $150 that the package shippers charge for the oversized box. The bumper was $200 but I have seen the listed for as high as $400.
