I know the obvious, RHD vs LHD, but what exterior styling differences and interior parts...

I will be getting my first 6th Gen Civic Sedan really soon, and I want to modify it.
I have only owned del Sol's and everyone of them I had done subtle JDM upgrades...

I know nothing of the 96 Civic Sedan...

IMO the most noticeable exterior mods would be headlights, SiR bumpers, and fogs. If cost is an issue eBay has very passable knockoffs.

Thanks for the love guys

so anyways, Ive been doing some reading on various 6th Gen civic forums, and was intrigued by the 99-00 front bumper conversion.

The only thing most boards didnt cover were if the front end conversion is different on 4drs?

Are the 99-00 Civic sedans front ends different than the 96-98 Sedan front ends?

You want to do a 99/00 front end conversion but you're not even sure if the 99/00 front end is different from the 96-98 front end?

As a matter of factly, they are. If you look in the App/Cos forum you'll find quite a few front end conversions. Or you can use the search button.

Nonetheless, no it's not different on 4drs. It's the same as a coupe/hatchback.

I know there is a difference, but I dont know if that difference was carried over with the 4drs...as all my search info showed me was 96 Civics

but in all seriousness, your really helpful at being an asshat

All '96-'98 Civic coupe, hatch and sedan fronts are the same. All '99-'00 Civic coupe, hatch and sedan fronts are the same.

To do a front end conversion you need to:
- replace headlights
- replace fenders
- replace front bumper
- replace hood
- replace grille
- replace or modify the core support aka radiator support (If you don't replace it you might have to cut holes in the top of the bumper)
