Icon2 Ek front end question



I got this pic from jdmshit.com and I was wondering what kind of front end that is on the black/white EK

What kind of bumper, lip, lights, etc.?
What year OEM bumper is that too?

Help is appreciated. THANKS GUYS.

And with that said, if I were to have a '98 hatch, can I just switch the bumpers out without doing anything else?
THAT EASY?

no, you would basically have to get the whole front end. as in headlights, grill, bumper, fenders, and hood.

and i think you have to change the radiator support, i'm not sure though. i read it along time ago and forgot what someone did to make it fit.

Does anyone know EXACTLY what must be done?
And how much will it be?

You can change out your rad support if you don't want to cut your bumper, but then you're going to have to spot weld the new rad support back on.

The easier way is just to modify and cut your bumper. It'll save you time and trouble.

How much all of this is going to cost will depend on where you get your parts, what parts you get (oem, jdm or aftermarket), and labor.

Don't forget about the front grill.

There is no need to change the rad support or cut the bumper, All it has to be done is trim the tabs that hold the corner that meets the grill and bumper ( I will post pics if needed) and use nice screws,I have done it plenty times. But you will need the headlights, hood, fenders, bumper and grill and of course the foglights and dont forget the lip!!! lol

Please say no to 99-00 front end conversions. Your car likes being a 96-98.
