question about a 99-00 front end swap and an intercooler
 

im wanting to do a 99-00 front end swap on my 98 dx coupe...im just curious about the fitment...my intercooler barely fit in there after cutting away a lot of the 98 bumper...i just want to know if the 99-00 bumper will sit farther back (closer to the intercooler) or not...because if so i will have to cut away way more than i would want to.

thanks in advance

cliff notes: will a 99-00 bumper sit farther back than the stock 98 bumper and create intercooler fitment problems?

bump...anyone know?

Its easier to put a cooler on a 99-00 then a 96-98, thats my personal opinion though, you shouldnt have a problem.

WAY easier in a 99-00

thanks for the input...but keep in mind that it is a 98 civic, with a 99-00 bumper...so will it still be easier?

bump for just some reassurance.

It shouldn't be as bad, both frames are the same, the bumpers were made differently
it should fit though if it does with the 99-00. Should be easier. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
