Default A few body panel swap questions...

Hey guys, my girlfriend has a 97 DX Coupe and I'm wanting to swap a few of the parts. First of all, we were planning on swapping on the Si spoiler, grille, and lip and then switching to the 99-00 style bumpers. From the looks of it all the parts should be just bolt on, but I wanted to check to make sure. Will all of these pieces fit correctly?

Well, I was able to find some info on this.

The rear bumper will bolt up without a problem it seems. It looks like you need to swap the fenders, hood, grille, headlights, and bumper to make it work. Apparently the 99-00 headlights are more pointed than the 96-98. It looks like the bumper should bolt up fine since the fenders and headlights are flat on the bottoms just like the 96-98, but apparently it's completely different. Also, some people say you need to swap the radiator support to but that seems wrong also.

Anyone have anymore info on this?

You need to swap the fenders, hood, lights, grill and front bumper. They are all different. You do not really have to swap the rad support. You just have to notch the bumper I think it was cause it will not clip to the rad support were it is supposed to by the grill. I believe that is the problem.
