96-98 civic hood to 99/00 identification?
How can you tell the difference in 96-98 civic hood compared to a 99-00 civic with out trying to put it on? They both look very similar.
Thanks!
Thanks!

there is a way to look...look for a more aggressive headlight slant and that is the 99-00 hood. but it is hard to tell without tryin to put it on.

The 96-98 have a thicker pience between the grille and headlight, while the 99-00 have a thinner piece. there is about a 2cm difference so it is pretty easy to spot once you know what to look for.

96-98 is thicker in the spot between the headlight and the grill and 99-00 is thinier
96-98 grill is shorter than 99-00

I made a thread going over all of this. It's in the FAQ thread stickied at the top of this section.

If you can't tell visually, bring your grille with you to check (or measure the top of your grille).
