2 head lights and bumper 98's

98 rear bumper itself

You will need

98+ headlights
98+ front bumper
98+ bumper lenses
98+ bumper lens supports
98+ rear bumper

have fun! I did the front end 98+ on mine, and I like it a lot.

Everything bolts up just fine. Don't forget to get the 98+ rear tail lights as well. Do you just want the outside to look like a 98+? Also, if you want mud flaps, make sure you get some, my 97 mud flaps don't fit right on my 98 bumper, they fit but not right.

Huh?
It's totally different. The front headlights are more oval, and the bumper has a large hole in it....perfect for intercoolers.

If you choose to get a lip, that's different too. It's very different, if you look at the pics.

EDIT: Well here are some pics....these cars aren't mine.

94-97 bumper


98+ bumper


Hope that helps a little.

JDM conversion costs way more than 98up conversion, since u have buy the whole front end and other bits. U have to pay labor for welding the new radiator support and plus u have to paint the whole front end, instead of just the bumper.

But I still like the JDM front more way more than 98up, but it just a big hole in your pocket

Just a comment, I really like my 1995's front end, although I do love the 98+ front end as well. Basically, those two pictures above are a little misleading, if you put on the 1997 Type-R front lip from Comptech, the 1995 looks absolutely fabulous too. It's two entirely different looks. I love the old school look for my 'teg, I think the money is better spent on other areas. But more power to everyone to do what they think is best.

98+ conversion on my 97 LS, great stuff!! 98+ headlights, 98+ bumper, 98+ OEM lip, 98+ bumper lights...and kazaam! Instant 98-01 Integra with skewed lights, more aggressive and angular front and beautiful lip, I just don't think the 94-97's can live up to that look....IMO. Total cost for me was $530, and then i got side swiped and got the bumper painted for free....hehehe lucky me...

hey, don't forget the front bumper aborber styrofoam piece. trust me, 94-97 and 98+ ones are different. The earlier ones tend to move around, don't fit correctly.

If you're spending money to do the conversion, remember to get this piece too. You'll know why when people back into your front bumper iof you don't have it.
