Im needing front body panels for my newly acquired SI (fenders, hood, trunk). I was curious if they are the same as a regular Civics? Also the taillights, any difference?

TIA

Fronts on 99-00 coupes are the same except SI has different grill, 96-98 are different. Trunk is the same, fitment of taillights is the same, but 99-00 look different than 96-98 because 99-00 are clear and red

Thanks so much, youve been very helpful!

I take it the headlights are different correct?

All the headlights are the same 99-00 usdm.

for coupe/hatchbacks all the 99-00 front end body panels are the same.

As said above^ Yes everything is the same except SI's have the front lip, a different grill, an SI cluster, amber lighting, si wheels, rear disc brakes, strut bar, and the badges. The door panels and seats are all compatible. Everything is inside the car is basically compatible you can just plug and play everything.

awesome! Alright, off to order a front end.

NOFX

As said before, all the front end pieces (besides the upper grille) are the same on all Civic trims.

This includes the hood, bumper, headlights, core support and fenders.

All the other exterior body panels are interchangeable from all other '96-'00 Civic coupes. '96-'00 hatch doors also fit your car. All '96-'00 sedan and coupe rear bumpers fit, but the '96-'98 rear bumpers lack the slight lip out that your rear bumper has at the bottom. Sedan trunks also won't fit, but the '96-'00 coupe trunks fit.

And there are other differences from the Si of course which I can post if needed (I've posted it several times on this site already).
