Looks good. Did you have to swap out the radiator support like a lot of people say?

So many people say this. I've done the conversion before, you DON'T need to.

If you are doing ONLY EK front end conversion, you do not need the radiator support...All you need is the 99/00 Hood, lights, bumper, fenders, and you might need the black medal piece under the lights (I dunno what their called)...I heard that the black medal piece from the 96-98 does not work with the 99/00 conversion...I am using the 99/00 medal piece under the lights...

cool cool . I've been thinking about doing this also. Does it look wierd if you leave the old rad support there or does it look stock?

It should look stock...I believe all of the EK radiator support are the same...

I did the same like you did, cut the bumper and drilled two new holes. Did you replace the two black medal pieces under the headlight...the 96-98 are different from the 99-00 ones...Thats all I changed and it fits perfectly...

Re: I just finished my EK Hatch front 99/00 conversion... (BlackNoise)
I got the whole conversion for $250....came wit everything...
I think you can get the black metal pieces at the dealer for about $40-$50 a piece, not sure though, but I guess you do need it if you are doing the conversion...

Re: I just finished my EK Hatch front 99/00 conversion... (igone916)
yeah i just did my conversion last night and it looked coo. but when i looked at it today in the light, i noticed gaps everywhere. guy that sold me the front end told me in order to make it fit right i had to buy 99-00 radiator support.
