Default 97 to 00 front end conversion

These are the parts I have so far:
Bumper
Fenders
Hood

I need to get:
Headlights
Grill
Rubber hood seal
Front lip

I was wondering if I need anything else for the conversion. My friend told me I need a 00 front radiator support for everything to be perfect but it will hold pretty good.

I also got a after market bumper Hopefully, it will look alright because I am going to get the whole car painted white. Have any of you guys painted an after market bumper before? Also, there are no holes for the fog lights. I think most of the replacement bumpers come like that but do you think it looks better when they are cut out?

Thanks Everyone

what u listed is good so far, its true to use the 99-00 civic core support or radiator support. only do this if u have time and money otherwise use yours...

you may need to cut some stuff off the bumper to fit the core supports

yea man it should look good. For the front bumper the body shop should sand, primer and paint the front bumper along with the rest of the car. It will all look good depending on if the shop your going to is good. Is your bumper fiberglass???

are you using an SI bumper??

nah I just got a 2000 bumber. Its not fiberglass but I think its ABS plastic. I'm not sure if its polyster because its an aftermarket replacement bumper. You think it will work? Maybe I can post a pic or something
