Ok im new to Honda's, so I was wondering....

I have a 96 EK and I want to change the front end to the 00 EK

But here is my problem.

I go to Password JDM and they have this for $190 it says "JDM"
http://passwordjdm.com/product2.aspx?Product_ID=1417

But then I go here and it says "OEM" but it's $115 plus FREE shipping. compaired to the $190 + shipping "JDM" one on Password JDM.

ah its simple look at where the fog lights would go that i see is the main difference and i believe where the bumper and the fender meets there is a small difference

 

But check this out.

JDM bumper $190 + Shipping


OEM bumper $115 FREE shipping


Look exactly the same, just different angles.

 

i dont think theres any difference. PW, is overpriced anyway... i mean CTR lights and grills and **** go right in oem clips, so.

 

Tell me about it, if this isnt proof PW is overpriced I dont know what is!

 

this, lol...

 

So should I just order the OEM front end? I do want to put the JDM fog lights in eventually because they look BADASS! But im worried they wont fit for some weird reason.

EDIT: BAH!! Im confused!! On the Password JDM one it says this in the description..

"Here is an original JDM EK '99-'00 Civic Front Bumper! This is a genuine OEM bumper! So, you know it will fit like a glove! Perfect for those looking to do a front end conversion! "

WTF man!

 

Sir bumpers ftw

 

yes, and they most definitely WILL fit...

!

 

I dont really like the look of the molding in the SiR conversion. Also where do the fog lights go?




EDIT:I think this looks much better IMO

 

Well in 96-98 civic front ends the foglights go here

 

yea they come with a different style fog setup, but u will then need the rear bumper to match...

 

Dammit, I thought the rear bumpers were the same in the 96-00 EK's just the front end was different (bumper, lights) because in the 99-00 EK conversion kit on PW JDM it comes with a front bumper, fender + side markers, and headlights thats all.

EDIT:See

 

na, the SiR has moldings on the rear too; i meant...

 

Oh for the SiR you meant? So the 99-00 EK has the same rear bumper as the 96-98 Ek right?

 

Just a heads up......

When comparing, don't mix up original OEM with knock off "oem style".......quality is difference, and you get what you pay for!

 

I know what you mean man. I found it out the hard way. I ordered a type-r "style" grill off ebay and it was so cheap looking and didnt even fit right!

 

yea i meant sir. u got a hatch right? they the same...

true, dont just buy to save, ull regret it...

 

cheap will be often times what it says...cheap. look for quality

 

I dont think that bumper is cheap because the model number checks out, I hope it's not fake/cheap.

 

just generically speaking.lol. not specifically that bumper

 

Oh lol I see =P

 

I get all my real shiz from ICB, no messing around!

Depends on how much money you want to spend and how much you love password, ha ha. Although the parts I have gotten from password never disappoint. There is always the junkyards.

 

USDM/JDM 99-00 bumpers are all the same from my knowledge. just like type r/si/optional lips are the EXACT SAME LIP for 99-00 civics.

96-98 and 99-00 rear bumpers are different on coupes/sedans and 96-00 hatch rear bumpers are all the same.


all i can say is get OEM parts, not OEM STYLE.
