96-98 to 99-00 frontend conversion
Alrite, I know that this thread has been made already. BUT I want to know the real deal scoop about this. I hear from some people the 99-00 front end (hood,fender,headlights,grill,bumper) fits perfectly on the 96-98 frontend.
And I hear from some other people that say the radiator support is different from the 96-98 and the 99-00. I want to know from the people that has done this, that has experience with this. What is TRUE? does it fit perfectly? or it doesn't, and what makes it not fit perfectly.
any info would be much appreciated. thanks folks.

my brother has a 96 ex we put the whole 99-00 SI front end on it. dont worry about radiator support, its all bullcrap. just get the hood, fenders, headlghts, and bumper and youll be fine.

you kinda have to trim the bumper because the little tab where the 96-98 bumper fits is a little different from the 99-00 so you notch the bumper, then you should be fine...i had to do that to my project car...(but maybe thats because the front end was all twisted and bent outta shape!)

I think if someone would clarify more so than just posting "it fits" i think we'd all be in better shape.
Can someone list an itemized parts list please?

I just did a search under ARCHIVED topics and I typed in "front end conversion" and looked only in the EG+Civic/Del sol forum.
I got a full page worth of topics.
Do the same search please.
