No, doesn't bolt straight on.

You'll need to cut, grind, weld, etc to make it work. The CD7 frontend is already as good as it can get. I prefer the 5th Gen frontend over the new Accords just cause they're much more sexier. But everbody has their preference.

Well, from what I gathered off your first post is that you're wondering if the '99 Accord front clip will work on the CD7 '94-'97 Accord coupe's frontend right? Then I said that the 5th Gen '94-'97 Accord's frontend is by far the best looking frontend which I would not replace it with any other.
