Hi everyone,

Someone had offered a trade-in for my 96-98 front-end for there 99-00 front-end. However, the 99-00 is from a Civic coupe, I have a 97 HB would that be a direct bolt-on? Could someone please help me out here.

Thanks in advance for your response.

yes

Thanks alot for your quick response.

But one more question, is there anything I should know ahead before doing the conversion? Like any minor bends, cuts, etc..

Thanks.

You need to change your side fenders as well as your hood and headlights to make them fit with the 99-00 bumper. Unless there is another way to get it to fit by doing custom work.

Thanks Underdog; the front-end i have does have both fenders, grill, hood, headlights and bumper.

Anything apart from that.

im curious why he wants to trade u a 99-00 front end which looks better for your 96-98 front end

Well the rad supports are slightly different, so I think two screws from the bumper won't screw-in.

Callmesir - he's going for the subtle look i guess... i don't know; all i care about is getting the 99-00 front-end...

Chris - thanks i will keep my eye out for that.

everything is 100 percent bolt on.
except for the tabs that stick out in the front of the radsupport that hold the bumper in the middle up (both sides of the front grille) you will need to cut the tab to be shorter so the bumper fits over it and bore a hole to make the clip to go in proper.

the hood has to be changed also??

Damn this conversion is more work than i thought

imported_kungfugrip

well if u have to change ur fenders so the new headlights would fit your gonna have to change the hood too cause the old one wont contour to the new lights... right? ehh

a bit of work and money but very worth it imo.
99/00 front end > 96-98 front end.
