you need a post 97 bumper to be able to change the grill without hacking the bumper up....

They are the same width. Post 97 looks nicer, its a bit smoother and doesn't look as dated

main difference with rear bumpers is the tow hooks. on the pre 97 there is no cover and the tow hooks hang out whereas the post 97 has a cover.
