will a 00-02 z24 front fit on a 95-99 cavalier without having to do a headlight conversion

sure but there will be a big gap under the headlights that will need to be filled in

Should be easy to repair....do it yerself...go buy a gallon of resin and some woven fiberglass cloth. align the kit, clamp it together with some vices, and put tape of the outside of the kit, brush some resin onto the inside of the kit, lay some mat, brush some more resin ontop of the mat untill its evenly soaked in resin, let set until tacky, do another layer and repeat! it will probably be about twice as strong in that area if you do enough layers and do it correctly...then take the top off the front and slap some body filler in the slight gap and then sand it down.... sorry if this post is kinda sketchy, im in a hurry!

actaully, forget teh woven cloth, its a lil easier to work with, but its not quit as strong...just use the fiberglass matt.

wrong... you'll need to have it plastic welded back together or use an epoxy. fiberglass will not repair a stock bumper.
