96-98 front or 99-00? best place to buy OEM body parts?
like it says. I need a few OEM body parts for my 97 ek I just bought that has a cracked bumper, faded headlights, and a dented hood and fender.. I just need some help finding a place that sells quality OEM aftermarket parts or cheap OEM honda brand parts. The car needs new paint, so I'm trying to decide if I should go 99 up front end or leave it 96-98. Thanks in advance.

if i were to do it all over again, i would've kept 96' front end and get CTR headlights. that would damn nice.

i converted to 99-00 after ******* up the front right. i'd keep the 96-98 if i could do it again. i like how the oem 96-98 foglights look.
either way, get a used oem bumper [honda bumpers are best, 3rd party oem aren't the best at fitment] or get a aftermarket bumper, something nice like cwest, order some fenders, get a carbon fiber hood or used hood, and get a headlight (buy used and polish the plasic to get rid of fogging or buy some halogen projectors x3racing.com, cost 155 for a PAIR, and they're not rice. not really )
i used http://stores.ebay.com/store=139020616 to buy my fenders and new hood. it was cheap for me because i could pickup locally, but its still cheaper than oe honda.

99-00 looks better and the headlights don't turn yellowish after a couple of years.. you can also get the RSX front end for civics!
