I thought they would, but with some things I have read on here, I am not sure anymore.
Will a 99-00 hood, bumper, lights, and grill fit my 96 civic ek?

 

you will need the 99-00 fenders for all of that to fit i think

 

you need fenders too

 

youll need the fenders too. there should be a write up somewhere if i remembered correctly. not gunna look for it for you though, taking a quick break from hw.

 

Thank you.
Good thing I asked before I bought the parts only to find out it doesnt fit.

Will just the grill fit with the stock parts I have now, or do I need a specific 96-98? Same with a lip if I get one. Will those just fit on any bumper?

 

no the grill and the lip both will not fit. the 96-98 grills are shorter than the 99-00 grill and the bumpers are different also. you need all 96-98 stuff in order for it to fit properly.

 

Ok. Thank you.

Just looked and saw pictures. I see the difference now.

Just curious, what do you guys think looks better, the 96-98 or the 99-00 front end?

 

no prob...

 

Just had another question that deals with the 99-00 front end.
I heard for it to fit on 96-98, the radiator support needs to be modified. Is that true, or will the hood, bumper, grill, etc. just bolt on without modification.

 

they have the same rad support. just the hood headlights fenders bumper and grille are needed.

 

Its an easy changeover but you need all the front end parts to do it. I personally like the 99-00.

 

Radiator supports are a tad different, but not a necessity for conversion. Good luck

Good luck with it, just take your time aligning everything. Here are some pics of my conversion.

Right after my conversion and i used the stock 97 rad support.


Here it is after paint. EVO 9 MR Gunmetal paint

 

car ****!

 

thats beautious! Nice color choice.

 

there will be some fitment issues cause the 99 and 00 civics hav a dif body style than the 96-98

 

you can do what i did.
sell your car and buy a 99-00 lol
dont 4get your back bumper too 96-98 are not the same with 99-00
and the indash/cup holders

 

Thanks! I picked it because I have'nt seen any other civics with that color.

 

yeah that is a nice color 4real!!!! what is it called? i wanna change my paint soon..
maybe a battle ship gray

 

be different for once and keep the 96-98 front end. Or go 96-98 sir

For perfect fitment you will want to swap the radiator / core support.

You have to hammer in the points on the front of the support OR cut into the bumper. That's ghetto imo.
