Default Will an 98-00 Front bumper fit an 01-02?

I heard that it will bolt right up to the fenders hood and lights. All i need to buy is the bumper and grill?

If done some research and seen that im going to have to buy the grill and maybe change the retainer the the grill clips on to. Which part is the retainer and how do i switch that?

I'm going to guess you have the coupe, as the 4 door has the bumper cover and "grill" all in one piece.

I thought the grill clipped onto the bumper cover? If not I think there is a center section to the retainer that it clips to. Its an individual section that can be changed out if necessary.

I don't know for sure as I don't have a coupe (just used images of the bumper assemblies from Majestic Honda). Any coupe owners wanna chime in?

Parts can only be swaped between the 98-00 and 01-02 if they are coupes to coupes, or sedans to sedans.

Well, there are people who have done the coupe front end swap to the sedan.

Of course you have slight fender fitment issues (everything fits, but where the bumper cover and fender meet it looks slightly "off") but as long as you buy the hood, bumper cover, and grill you are good.

98-00 coupe to 01-02 coupe will fit, i do the switch every fall/spring.

From this;


To this;


In about 15 minutes and a few tie-wraps

The rear bumper is also doable, but a little bit tricky.

He said he does it every fall/spring. Looks like to protect his 01-02 coupe bumper cover from the winter.
