Default What is needed to swap from a 94-96 DC front end to 98-01 ?

Ive never owned a DC.. so this is a 'newbie question' in the integra realm...

what specifically is involved in a front end swap from 94/96 to 98/01- whats the big difference, what parts are needed, how much can i expect to pay for the needed parts..

if anyone can tell me and post pics, that would be awesome.

pretty simple changeover then. the rest of the front end is the same-

hood, fenders, etc...

isnt the back bumper different too from 98+?

and even though the hood fits, doesnt the 98/01 hood have those humps on the sides of it?

Yes back bumper is a different style compared to 94-97.

Hoods are the same on DC's regardless of year

i always see that the front bumper has problems with alligning when converting to 98+

is that because the hood/fender isn't the same as the 98+

its probably the radiator support honestly. When i did front end swaps on my EJ8s from 98 to 99s i had problems lining stuff up.. i actually had to cut away at my radiator support a little bit at the sides of the front grill...(because they were different) and ive heard of a lot of people having to do the same thing.. so that would be my guess..
