If you switch to the 98+ bumper you will have to get the 98+ headlights, other then that i believe you should be fine, and the lip is oem, or comptech. Please correct me if im wrong guys.

98+ Headlights usually go for around $250-$300 for the pair, the bumper for around $150-$200 unpainted (sohfast.com has 'em for $200), and the turn signal lenses are like $10 for clears on eBay and probably about the same for used OEM's (94-97 will not fit). So, about $400-$500 plus paint.
I have noticed that eBay is not a great place to buy these parts, because they tend to go for a lot more than you could get them elsewhere. The For Sale forum on message boards is a good place. Just beware of scammers, both on message boards and eBay. But, eBay might be a good place to sell the 94-97 stuff on... I figure you can sell the stock 94-97 bumper for like $75-$125 and the headlights for $150-$250. So, that's about $225-$375 back, for a net cost of $125-$175 plus paint.
I'm in the process of getting the parts myself. I just got a great deal on the head lights ($200 + $20 S/H), and I can get the paint at cost, so now all I have to do is find the front bumper at a reasonable price.

And isn't that 99LS's car on the top???
Anyway, like they are sayin u need to get both the headlamp & corner/bumper lenses as well as the front bumper. And it should be no problem bolting up.

Re: Can I do it (92JDMGSR)
92JDMGSR, if you are referring that site, you must be up in the Santa Rosa are, which is where I am from. I'd like to know where things that cheap are coming out of Santa Rosa and why? And if I remember correctly, that site got some heat from the local paper after some cop sting operations on racers in our area. Santa Rosa and surrounding areas is becoming a crazy import scene now.
Plus, i never saw a JDM in santa rosa if i remember, where exactly are you from?
