Default Will these parts fit?

I thought they would, but with some things I have read on here, I am not sure anymore.
Will a 99-00 hood, bumper, lights, and grill fit my 96 civic ek?

Thank you.
Good thing I asked before I bought the parts only to find out it doesnt fit.

Will just the grill fit with the stock parts I have now, or do I need a specific 96-98? Same with a lip if I get one. Will those just fit on any bumper?

no the grill and the lip both will not fit. the 96-98 grills are shorter than the 99-00 grill and the bumpers are different also. you need all 96-98 stuff in order for it to fit properly.

Ok. Thank you.

Just looked and saw pictures. I see the difference now.

Just curious, what do you guys think looks better, the 96-98 or the 99-00 front end?

Just had another question that deals with the 99-00 front end.
I heard for it to fit on 96-98, the radiator support needs to be modified. Is that true, or will the hood, bumper, grill, etc. just bolt on without modification.

Its an easy changeover but you need all the front end parts to do it. I personally like the 99-00.

Radiator supports are a tad different, but not a necessity for conversion. Good luck

Good luck with it, just take your time aligning everything. Here are some pics of my conversion.

Right after my conversion and i used the stock 97 rad support.


Here it is after paint. EVO 9 MR Gunmetal paint

For perfect fitment you will want to swap the radiator / core support.

You have to hammer in the points on the front of the support OR cut into the bumper. That's ghetto imo.
