I am going to be installing bullitt grills on my 95 GT. The 95 style hood latch will not allow you to get to the latch which opens the hood. I purchased the 96+ hood latch needed for the swap. I just have a few questions...

I was just wondering if anyone has done this swap?
Will I need anything else (parts wise)?
What tools are needed?
Anyone have any pics?

Please get back to me. You can post here, PM me or email me at ONESICKGT@AOL.COM. THANKS

Im pretty sure you mean billet grill, if thats the case you really didnt need to buy the 96- latch. I have the grill on my car and i cant use the lever on the latch anymore, but i just push the latch itself to the right and it opens up very easily. I would recommend just doing this, maybe you can return the latch you bought and save some money.
