I'm selling my eg this next summer and getting an ek hatch. but the problem is is that I don't like the 96-98 front ends and I love the 99-00 front ends. How much would I pay for a 99-00 front end on a 96-98 hatch and would It bolt up with no problems or modification....THANKS

i have something for you to think about, saving up another 1000 dollars and buying a real 99-00 hatch.

I would but they seem really hard to find conpared to the 96-98 hatchies. Plus I would prefer a white one as well.

Probably the easiest option.

Yeah I know but......how much would it cost to put the front end on will it just bolt right on???

front end will bolt right on... and it is easier to get a 96-98 because you can run same year and above engines legally... cheaper then if you got a 99-00 because 99-00 engines tend to cost a little more, are newer, and are harder to find...

oh.... probably pay $400-700 for conversion.. and sell your old stuff for some cash...

for a white hatch, i'm pretty sure it's only available in year 2000

i agree,unless you can find a 96-98 hatch really cheap,just get a 99-00 hatch.

it would be so much easy just to get the white 2000 instead of buying a 96-98 then doing the front end conversion then getting it reprayed white. And if you get the 99-00 you will get the better climate control. But i will never change to the 99-00 front end, i like my 98

dont forget the cost to paint it

it wont really matter what color you get your car because after you do your conversion, you will most likely not have a white front end. in that situation, you have to repaint your car. I believe that you will dish out more money doing that than to buy a real 99-00 hatch. if this doesnt make sense, ive had a long day and im tired

or find someone with a 99-01 front end to do a swap with you.....I had my chance but we were both flakers....
