No they wouldn't work on the 96-98 bumpers.. Only other cars i've seen them on are eg's. If you like the 99-00 front end why not just keep it and sell yours?

Yes, you can put the '99-'00 foglights on a '96-'98 front...

But it looks like ****.

If you do this your car will also look like ****.

There are SiR lips, OE lips, CTR lips just from Honda. Then there's lots of high quality aftermarket lips (and loads of crappy ebay lips too).

What color is your car right now? If you have the whole front end conversion why do you think it's going to cost you too much money?

There isn't just a store called The Honda Lip Emporium. Where you purchase yours depends on what lip you want.

I can't tell you what lip to like. LOTS of people come on and try to get us, the nearly random public, to build their cars for them. Your best bet is to look in threads on this site and others. There will be threads comprised almost entirely of photos of 1996-2000 Civics. You might find a 1996-1999 Civic thread or a "Post your 6G coupe" thread. Just start looking and you should find something.

What you get will also depend on what your budget is.

Why did you decide not to do the front end conversion? I saw you said it was too expensive, but you had all the parts and all you needed to do was get them painted Milano Red and put them on. Look around and I'm sure you could find a reasonably priced painter.

And Eran's hatch before he parted it and sold it.

k i still have the front end and i went to miracle, a paint shop, and talked to the owner about how much its going to be to get that front end painted and it was just as much as a paint job for the whole car. thats why it was expensive,
i went to like 3 different shops and they all gave insane quotes . and i dont no any painters personally and i cant find anyone that can do it personally

also i have checked out forums for my car, and i have pictures i said i was going to upload soon to see if you guys could help me determine what brand of lips they were. i cant tell in the pictures i have

It should cost roughly zero dollars to keep it and wait for paint or you could wait until you find it in Milano Red (though it might still look different from your paint).

I had a painter who would probably paint that amount for $500-600, maybe a little more.

The white Civic has shaved sides. If you think painting your front end parts was pricy, that's more so. For that look the side moldings have to be removed, then the holes filled in (metal or Bondo) and then those sections of the car need to be repainted. Probably just best to repaint the whole car though.

The rear lip you posted is a '99-'00 OE lip aka '99-'00 Si rear lip (they did NOT just come in the Si, in fact it didn't come standard on the Si at all - it was an optional part on all trims).

Hilariously enough, the front lip you posted IS a Civic Type R lip. That's a '96-'98 Type R lip. The other lip you're probably thinking of is either the '99-'00 Type R lip (which is the same as the '99-'00 si lip or '99-'00 optional lip) or the Type R Style lip, which looks like that lip but is made for pretty much all Hondas out there.

That front lip and rear lip are both pretty common to find on cars, but they're going to cost a bit for you to get. I think they go for something like $200-$300 each.

The replicas are "toothier" looking.

I think black wheels are kind of boring and I'm so over the red ring time attack style.

I also think those wheels are way too big.

Matter black on Milano Red makes the paint look super shiny but the wheels look super bland imo.

The coupe I posted earlier is also Milano Red btw. It's a Milano Red '98 EX.
