I want to do a 99-00 EK front end conversion for my EK so i bought the bumper and headlights already, so I htought what the heck im gonna try and see if the bumper fits. So I took the headlights and fenders and grill off and kept the hood open and started to install the 99-00 EK bumper. Well small problem.... The radiator support makes it impossible for it to fit, so now I have to chop off my radiator support and weld a 99-00 radiator support on there. On password JDM is says NOTHING about this, it says "it should fit like a glove" god im so pissed because I just spent all that money for no reason, im not about to start cutting my car up.

If only it did.

You need the fenders as well.

96-98 and 99-00 have a different radiator support.... a good search will tell you this ;-)

but anyways for a proper conversion you need hood bumper fenders and grill, your current radiator support can be cut. thse 2 tabs that stick out to mount the bumper.... grind the folded up section off... so its flat, then it will fit much easier

I know this. This thread says I can simply use a dremel and cut some pieces off, did anyone have to do this when doing a 99-00 conversion?

I wish it would say this on password JDM it makes it seem like it will fit right on with no problems.

Theres your write up right there. You shouldnt be asking anymore questions. If you cant follow directions pic by pic you shouldnt be doing a conversion.

Well I followed that thread, it seems to have worked, I just need to order the fenders before I drill the holes, but the bumper and lights are on there now, but it looks kinda funny with the 96-98 fenders, hood, and grill lol.

EDIT: im a little worried because one of my dremel bits shattered while I was cutting and im pretty sure the pieces flew inside my engine bay, because they werent on the ground. I hope im not driving down the freeway and a piece flies into my engine and destroys it.

Thats what air filters are for.
