VIS CF OEM Hood + 96 Civic Hatch + B16 Swap

So from what I've been reading about in one of the other guys posts about a VIS hood not fitting... I have a 96 Civic hatch, and plan to do a B16 swap. Would doing a 99-00 front end conversion be enough for a VIS OEM Style CF Hood be enough for that to fit? Is the radiator support higher or something? Or would just swapping out the headlights, fenders, and bumper cover be enough?

Really I'm just trying to plan ahead here... any thoughts or comments would be great thanks!

Are you talking about the new generation VIS?

If you are they hit the valve cover on swapped civics

i dont believe fiber images have this problem...

but even if it does slightly contact the cover, just do some trimming on the skeleton and youre good to go
