if you dont like the rear mirror privacy tint you could always just black out tint over it. I know you arent supposed to put the tint on the outside but this guy I go to school with did it and its been holding up fine for 3 years. I personally think the mirror tint looks good if you can get the front ones to match like I did. But I guess it depends on your color truck.
In terms of the front bumper I am pretty sure it is not a direct fit, but I have heard of people making it work. The thing is that with the 97-98s the grille meets with the bumper in a straight line, but with the rest of the gen10s the grille dips down to meet with the bumper. If you dont know what I mean take a look at the differences in the front clip. All it means is that you will have a space between the grille and bumper. If you search around on google and the other forums I am pretty sure there are people who have done write ups about it. I too looked into doing this but ended up concluding that it just wasnt worth it.
