need help and tips regarding converting the front end of a 06 civic to a 99-00 front end


one of my question is

is it bolt on?

do i need to change anything ?

you need 99-00 civic fenders, hood, headlights, front bumper and grill. Everything is a direct fit except the front bumper. you either have to cut the the bumper where it goes by the grill. Or cut the brackets right by the headlight and grill on each side. then drill holes. it easy i just converted my 96 dx to a 99-00 frontend. theres a writeup just google search it

I cant tell the differences between the 96 and the 99 front end...

google is beyond most people..

main way to tell is the bumpers from the 99-00 have a "vents" in the lower corners... a lot of ppl throw a fog light kit in them. the 96-98 is just a plain old bumper with no "vents"

..... Anyways.. i figured all u needed to change is just the front bumper not the hood and other stuff but cool thanks for letting me know

i just went to a local body shop and got both fenders and front bumper NEW for $110 off brand but fit perfectly. $80 for headlights and a grill off ebay. I planned on getting a cf hood thats why i didnt get one yet.

$110?? Gimme the name of this shop. i cant find just 1 Fking bumper for under $120

96-98 > 99-00 More agressive. looks better with the fogs.

I agree. I just converted my 96 dx coupe to a 99-00 but i really wish i would of went 96-98 Si-R bumpers with the moulding. Idk i like it ALOT on the hatches but it looks kinda goofy on the coupes sometimes IMO

No 99-00= Gay 96-98= WIN

The two front ends look nothing alike IMO..To me the newer front ends look more aggressive. And while the 96-98 front end might not look as nice stock, with just a few minor improvements it has much more of a classic Honda look. Stick with your front end, just get a lip, sir headlights and fogs..
