If you are referring to the pic that you quoted, the 96-98 and 99-00 rear side fender is the exact same.

Re: 1996-1998 / 1999-2000 Civic Body Differences and Front and Rear Conversion
From what i have observed the rear trunk and fender of 1998 is a bit curved towards ouside. where as for the si its totally straight. how can i get that done. plus i would also be needing a few advises if i can get my current 4 door converted to two door shaped one without much hassle.
And lastly the front i think for the si is slightly a bit pointier. kindly correct me if i am wrong. how can i get that effect.

I'm no expert but I think for the cost of what you are proposing you could almost buy a 96-00 coupe and have the "look" you want w/o cutting, welding, etc....maybe no?

Re: 98 ---> 00 Civic Front and Rear End Conversions - please help
That is a 99-00 Civic SI rear end, not the kitted out thing you've been posting. While you're not searching and reading, go ahead and read this thread. NOFX has put a LOT of time and effort into helping everyone on H-T know and understand the differences in all of the 6th gen chassis'. NOFX also manages to cover ALL of the differences with the trunk, rear bumper, and tail lights.
Seriously though, all of your questions are answered in NOFX's thread that I linked above. Read, learn, and go do it.

The thing is that in his thread he has mentioned the differences between the same sub categories like difference between a 1996 sedan and a 2000 sedan and the differences between a 1998 si and 2000 si..
But i failed to find the difference i am looking for. Maybe its my fault i cant find it. but can u please direct me where he has specified the differences i am looking for.
And if not then kindly tell me whom should i contact here, who is an expert in such body work?

Re: 98 ---> 00 Civic Front and Rear End Conversions - please help
You would have to get rear quarters from a coupe, and cut your rear quarter panels and weld them together, since the coupe trunk flares out and the sedan trunk flares in. Then Im not sure if a coupe trunk lid would fit a sedan. You may have to cut up a coupe lid and a sedan lid and weld them together. All I know is that is a shitload of time and money for something really only you are going to appreciate.

You have a sedan and want a coupe styled rear end. Not going to happen unless you pour ridiculous amounts of time or money into this in addition to sourcing a 99-00 Civic to hack up.
Live with it the way it is or sell what you have and buy a coupe.

The thing with that is there are NO coupes in my country! and we cannot import vehicles that old :/

To tell you the truth, the only thing that share between a 6G sedan and 6G Coupe is from the tip of grille until the firewall. The rest of the chasis are totally different, even Coupe and Sedan have different wind shield.

I haven't read through this thread, but for the rear end, you do have two decent options....
do an EL conversion like i did
Another
or, just use EL outer tail lights to match up the clear sections

The OP wants to convert his Sedan to a Coupe because Coupe is not available at where he lives.
