i saw on youtube a 97 crown vic dropped on 20s with a 98 front. now my question is do i have to change the fenders to do this or not. the guy says no but when he shows the picture of the car in its original state the car is tan...and after he changed the front the fenders were no longer tan they were white like the new hood he had to buy...

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

There is also a writeup someone did, but I can't remember where exactly. They used photos and documented his swap of a 98 GM onto a 97 CVPI. He didn't need to replace the fenders, but the hood, bumper, bumper cover, headlights, and corner lights were all replaced. The guy did have to do minor modifications (mostly grinding and minor cutting) to get everything to fit. But I can't remember which CV forum it was in. Do a Google search for swapping a 98 CV front clip to a 97 CV.
