Default front end help

just wondering if you take a 99-00 bumper and put it on a 96-98 front end how will it fit? should fit fine since their the same headlights and fenders right?

Wrong...the 99-00 and 96-98 Have different fenders, front bumper, grill, hood, and headlights.

I doubt it would even bolt up, and theres no chance it would line up...The shape of the 96-98 headlights are way different

Correct.

In order for you to successfully sport that bumper you would need to convert to 99-00 Fenders, Headlights, Hood, and Grill as well.

yes, the whole conversion.

although, they make a vast amount of lips for your 96-98 front. Look into a 98 civic type r lip, or an SiR lip

They make that lip for a 96-98 front bumper as well.
