if you get all that, it'll bolt up to your 96 fender, bumper, lights, grille, hood... it would be way cooler to get an EL front end.

imported_loudsubz

depends what your pref is...

gavinjay

nah ive seen a civ with an EL front
its just not....well...jdm enough

i got into an accident which requires a new hood, fender bumber and a light
so the body shop guy can prolly get 99 one instead of 96
but then i still gotta get another hea light and fender and the grill
plus...my skirt wont fit on to that bumber will it?
and i know my fog lamps wont.

so are there factory fog lamps that fit on that bumber?

gavinjay

**ty barbulo.

imported_EK_Racer

yes there are factory fogs for 99-00..

anything from ur 96 won't fit onto that 99 conversion.


EL Conversion yo!

your front lip and fog lights will not fit with the 99-00 front end. I like the 96-98 front end best! it's so subtle and smooth.

gavinjay

ya, i like my front..........
the skirt and fog lights go great with the 96 bumber
but i liek the 99 head lights and larger grill....
but ur sure they all will bolt on?

no el!!!! ....but rsx.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
will intergra front bolt on?
i knwo rsx wont.

no, integra won't bolt on, though it has been done... RSX will also NOT bolt on...

PM Team Ruckus about a 96 to 99 conversion.

imported_Team Rukus

some one call me?
lol

these are the things u need

hood
both fenders
both headlights
grille
bumper

every single panel (hood, fenders) bolt on perfect.
BUT u will have to cut the two supports that hold the bumper up and the grill in the middle a little so the 99 bumper will slip on cuz its too big for the 99 since the grille is bigger on the 99.

other then that everthing else bolts up even headlights.
conversion i would rate at EASY (i would say very easy but u will need to cut a tiny piece)

El front end is wayyy better. if i were u i would go for it and then get the EVO kit and BOOM u got urself a MITSUBISHI LANCER
mmmmmhhhhhhhhhh......

gavinjay

lancer kti for 1.6?
never heardof/seen that

imported_Team Rukus

its called a jt evo kit.
they got different different versions
like evo 1 2 3 now even 4
trust me i already saw a car with it on.
it looks unbelievable to bad the ****** put mitsubishi logo on the el to ruin it.

imported_sketch

do you have to change the rad support as well though ?

imported_Team Rukus

nope
u dont need to do nothing if ur doing the 98 to 99 conversion all u have to cut is the support a bit thats all.
if u doing the el conversion i recommend a new rebar cuz the el one is a bit skinnier.

Actually teh EL front end is actually the Domani so it actually is "jdm enough".

the professor

lol, and the other way around

imported_Promoking

Team Ruckus: The 1.6 you saw with the Mitsu emblem, was it a nice viper blue? Did it have XSP stickers on it? If so that's my buddy Shawn. He's removed that front emblem and went back to his roots haha. The car is actually really nice.

imported_Team Rukus

the el front end we have is not jdm enough.
for one the headlights, the bumper lens, the grille, the fenders.

as for the car i was wit the mitsu emblem it was black it look amazing except for the fact it had a mitsu emblem on it.
