unless it's for a hatchback and you have a coupe/sedan, it will fit.
all 96-00 hatchback rear bumpers are interchangable, and all 96-00 coupe/sedan rear bumpers are the same

A rear lip for a '99-'00 coupe/sedan might not fit a '96-'98 coupe/sedan rear bumper (and visa versa).
All '96-'00 Civic hatch rear bumpers are exactly the same.

the rear bumpers are not the same on 96-98 coupes and 99-00 coupes. i have one of each sitting at home and they are definitely different.

I know you said the rear lip is for a '99-'00, but it it for a coupe, hatch or sedan?
The '99-'00 coupes and sedans HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.
The '96-'98 coupes and sedans HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.
The '96-'00 hatches HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.
Incorrect.
He's wrong. I already answered that part. Do you just want to hear they're all the same?
I already made a thread going over all the differences between these, including photos.

'96-'98 coupe/sedan rear bumpers fit the '99-'00 coupes and sedans, but they are not the same bumper.

A rear lip for a hatch will not fit a coupe/sedan rear bumper (there is no way to make it fit the car!).
A rear lip for a '99-'00 coupe/sedan might fit, but MIGHT NOT FIT a '96-'98 rear bumper.
Can you show us the rear lip you want to put on your car?

Is that called just a "v2 style" or what?

It says '99-'00 coupe/sedan rear bumper, so I'd imagine no or not without modification. Otherwise why would they have left out '96-'98?

well if you cant tell from the pictures that nofx provided, on the 99-00 the bottom edge that tapers in has a smoother transition (especially toward the wheels) and the bottom edge sticks out more on the back than the 96-98 does. I have both style sitting here and my 99-00 oem style lip does not fit correctly on the 96-98 bumper. It just doesnt look right, it could be put on there but it would look bad, imo.

I made this special for you since you can't notice the difference between the rear bumpers.
Now this is a cut away for the bottom of the rear bumpers.
<---- FRONT OF CAR
Now if you go back to the photos I posted in here earlier perhaps you'll be able to see what we've all been talking about.
