Default which front end?

so ive picked out my new car, 96 honda civic, and im curious which front end i should go w/. cause the lip i want, only comes for the 99.
so should i do the front end swap, and get the complete kit, or just get sideskirts and rear.

picture of both front ends:
the blue one, has the lip kit i want.
(blue = 99-00 front, red = 96-98 front)




heres pictures of my new car.






me driving it on track day.




it isnt my car, til i get my insurance money, but im putting a deposit on it, on thursday.

plans:
change the cage a bit, i will have the sides changed to removeable sides that are held in w/ pins, so it makes it better for DD.

i've seen too many 99-00 front ends. Stick with the one you've got, but add the square fogs and si-r lip. I love that. It can look so clean.
