For the 2002, you need to trim out the bumper to fit the headlights...

Good thing you can read ruen....

This is Matt Schreiner's car


You might want to ask him - I cant recally any other names of people who have done this, although I'm sure there are a few others. You'll have to trim the bumper where the headlights would be. Looks amazing when you do it though, the 00+ lights are way better.

^^^ the 2000-2002 cavs have bigger headlights, so modifying the bumper is needed. for a 99 you wouldnt have to modify it.

The kit has replacement bumpers or bumper covers? And you don't have to get z24 wheel well liners for the 2200.
