hey guys i just bought a 97 taillight for my 95 f3 looking to do the tail swap, but it doesn't fit the stay, im gonna assume i need the 97 stay but is there anything else i will need to do the conversion before i buy the plastics.. ty..

 

2 body styles in the f3... 95-96, and 97-98.

 

yes,
to the OP, you will need the taillight bracket.
