I am sure it is installable, but it'd require (it seems):

ABS ECU
NEw Fuse Panel
ABS modules on the brakes
New Calipers??

Just a rough estimate of what you'd have to install... i'm by NO means a certified tech

OK, so 99.5+ NBs had sunroofs. Interesting. I am also glad I am not the only person who lacks ABS on the 98. And Thank you wawalker for pointing out the package options! I know a girl at work with a auto 98 that has fogs....

We do learn something new everyday! After new plugs/wires and swapping in my 2002's fuel pump relay, my 98 died again. So... it's either the speed sensor (code always thrown when it does this, could be thrown in error), Fuel pressure (line clog) or the pump itself is going out. LOVELY!!!!!
