1) No clue on that one. I believe the alarm and remote entry systems are only somewhat cross compatible though. I could not get a 2000 Civic remote to work with my 2000 Integra locks.

2) 2000 was the first year that the Integra had an immobilizer. So no, the 97 doesn't have one.

3) In theory. My 2000 trunk unlocks with the rest of the power locks, but still requires a manual lever to open. If the 97 is the same, you'll need to wire in an aftermarket trunk/door popper.

4) No knowledge there.

5) No experience.

6) Yes, but you'll also need the 98+ bumper, turn signals, and turn signal brackets. This is frequently called a 98+ conversion. The rear can be converted as well, and only requires the bumper itself as the lights are interchangeable (but colored differently for pre-97 and 98+).

 

No. However, you can get a replacement remote from your dealer. You can also get OEM-compatible remotes from this site.

Anything's possible, as long as you're willing to go to an awful lot of trouble for something that really isn't necessary. The key works, and I think the '97 still had the remote hatch release on the floor next to the driver seat.

Your dealer, or by mail order from dealers who discount (see this topic).
