differences between 96-98 and 99-00
 

i keep seeing all over when i look for my parts for my 96 that it will only fit a 99-00 like the body kit im getting.

so whats the diffrance!

Headlights size, Front Grill, Hood. look closely and the headlights from a 96-98 is further away from grill than a 99-00

ok well could i modify a 99 front bumper to fit on a 96? i just have a huge hole in myne and i can get a body kit for 100$ so i have both bumpers and they need paint anyway..?

So unless you swap those parts also, it will not look right and have gaps.

ok i was also wondering wht there was a d16y7 in my 4 door ex its a 96? i thought it should have VTEC?

It should have had a d16y8 in it, unless the previous owner swapped a y7, most likely if the y8 blew and that was the cheapest option.

no i looked up the speck for a ex in Canada and it says it was suppose to have a y7...

Does it really? Well i never owned an EK and never really took great interest in them. The d16y7 is non vtec, so then everything is in check.

Though for some reason the thought of d16y8 in an ex sedan is still stuck in my head...could be wrong.

yeah the 2 door has the y8 i thought it was supposed to. that was one of the reason i bought my car. It has a really good body on it though. but 1100 safetyed is really good
