so... i was wondering will the pre 96 grilles bolt up w/ no mods to say my 98. I kind of like the look of them better and I cant paint like crazy so I think this would be a fun weekend mod project deal if it would fit.

No it wont fit. If your car is a 98, your choice is from 96 to 99.

They'll mount to the hood, but the headlights a little different shape and the hood-to-bumper distance changed some. It would take some cutting/fiberglass to make it flow, I think.

But you can tell it wasn't original, which is why it would need a little work to "flow".
