Default ***Need Advice for 96 Civic Hatch**** Which one do you think look better?

Please. Pick which one you think looks better?

Pictures taken from http://www.Jdmcarboy.com and http://www.X3racing.com






The main problem is, I am getting a civic HB 96. I am debating weather i should convert it to a 99-00 or keep it the way it is. A conversion to a 99-00 front end will cost for buumper,fender, lips (Front and Rear), Headlight, carbon Hood. Costs around $750-$850

Or, I can jsut keep the front end of a Civc HB 96. and just pay 300 for carbon hood (VIS), and 100 bux for Front lips and rear lips. Total of $400. ? Thanx guys and gals, I appriciate your time.

I personally like the 99-00 front way more than the 96-98. The 96-98 face looks to .... girly.

I think the 96-98 front end is fine . too many cats got the 99-00 front end . Why spend all that money on a damn front end and risk having a shitty looking front end that doesnt fit right. Why not get a swap instead, why not get suspension instead, why not get cams and upgrade your top end instead? pull your head out of the sand and just accept the decent looking front end honda made for you.

Its pretty much cut and dry down the middle between the two. In the end it comes down to which one you personally like better. If you do decide to go with the 99-00 dont get it from jdmcarboy.com. From what ive read about them they have the common back order issues as any other shop, but its the quality of their customer service and the way they deal with defects that makes them a non-reputable business.

I don't think the 96-98 front looks bad, unless I pointed it out to someone people wouldn't even notice.

750-850? That's a good set of rims, suspension, or even an oem brake upgrade. If you're gonna spend that much on oem stuff spend it on something that counts more.
