99-00 front on 97 EK ??
My hatch was recently stolen and recovered and im now in the process of rebuilding!! It acquired some front end damage from the tow truck picking it up and dumping it in the towyard with no wheels on it!! I have all the parts for the conversion but i need to also replace the damaged radiator support and dont know if i should stick with the 96-98 support or if i should go with the 99-00 support if possible. Will the 99-00 bolt up to my 97 frame??

Because the 99-00 are different from the 96-98. Usually when people do the 99-00 to 96-98 conversion they end up having to modify where the bumper mounts to the radiator support. So if you are doing the 99-00 conversion you wont have to worry about modifying it.
If you look at the individual parts for a 96-98 or 99-00 the only part numbers that are different are the headlight parts. Thats where the bumper mounts to.

I used my 96-98 radiator support, I just had to drill 2 holes, the mounting for the bumper cover is different. If you're already buying the radiator support, you may as well buy the 99. Everything should bolt right up without any modification.

Theres a particular drill bit to drill out spotwelds. Its not really cheap, easier to have a bodyshop handle it if your replacing the core support, but its not necessary.
