unless it's for a hatchback and you have a coupe/sedan, it will fit.

all 96-00 hatchback rear bumpers are interchangable, and all 96-00 coupe/sedan rear bumpers are the same

Coupe, hatch or sedan?

A rear lip for a '99-'00 coupe/sedan might not fit a '96-'98 coupe/sedan rear bumper (and visa versa).

All '96-'00 Civic hatch rear bumpers are exactly the same.

I know you said the rear lip is for a '99-'00, but it it for a coupe, hatch or sedan?

The '99-'00 coupes and sedans HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.

The '96-'98 coupes and sedans HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.

The '96-'00 hatches HAVE THE SAME rear bumper.

Incorrect.

He's wrong. I already answered that part. Do you just want to hear they're all the same?

I already made a thread going over all the differences between these, including photos.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/1996-1998-1999-2000-civic-body-differences-front-rear-conversion-2278221/

'96-'98 coupe/sedan rear bumpers fit the '99-'00 coupes and sedans, but they are not the same bumper.

'99-'00 coupe/sedan rear bumpers fit the '96-'98 coupes and sedans, but they are not the same bumper.

A rear lip for a hatch will not fit a coupe/sedan rear bumper (there is no way to make it fit the car!).

A rear lip for a '99-'00 coupe/sedan might fit, but MIGHT NOT FIT a '96-'98 rear bumper.

Can you show us the rear lip you want to put on your car?

Incorrect. Read the post above yours.

Remember, sedan and coupe rear bumpers are the same (for their respective years).

1996-1998



1999-2000

96-2000 rear bumper on a hatchback are all the same. 96-98 coupes and sedans are different from 99-00.

The add says it's for a 99/00 2dr/4dr... that's all. Nothing about a hatch.

Can you post a photo? I think you might be meaning "Honda Civic: Version 2 Style". So you might be referring to a '99-'00 OE rear lip or a '99-'00 OE Style rear lip (replica).

It says '99-'00 coupe/sedan rear bumper, so I'd imagine no or not without modification. Otherwise why would they have left out '96-'98?

well if you cant tell from the pictures that nofx provided, on the 99-00 the bottom edge that tapers in has a smoother transition (especially toward the wheels) and the bottom edge sticks out more on the back than the 96-98 does. I have both style sitting here and my 99-00 oem style lip does not fit correctly on the 96-98 bumper. It just doesnt look right, it could be put on there but it would look bad, imo.

I made this special for you since you can't notice the difference between the rear bumpers.

Now this is a cut away for the bottom of the rear bumpers.

<---- FRONT OF CAR



Now if you go back to the photos I posted in here earlier perhaps you'll be able to see what we've all been talking about.
