97 civic front to 99 front conversion help!
so when i did my conversion, i put the fenders, lights, bumper, grill and hood on only to find the fitment was off. I DID NOT CUT THE TABS, i simply just cut the bumper so it would slide into place but i am stuck and have no idea where to go.. ive tried adjusting stuff back and forth, but nothing seems to work... please help

the gap between the hood and fender gets smaller and thins out when it gets to the light

the side of the right-side headlight is popping out a little bit

the grill is popping out just a little to the right, but not the left side

there is a gap between the right side of the light and the bumper

I am currently doing the 99-00 front too, and so far, nothing is going out of place. I bought all replacement parts new excect for the grill, and no problems with lining up..
Did you buy used parts? Maybe some of them are tweeked alittle bit? I dunno

If you bought aftermarket parts, you're more than likely going to have fitment issues. Honda OEM parts should fit like a glove. Also, has the car ever been in an accident? Something may have gotten tweaked.
no i dont think the car was in an accident and these should all be oem parts i bought them off a guy and they all had some sort of honda writing under each part....
i dont no what to do....

It looks like either your car or the donor car for parts was wrecked.
Generally speaking if its been wrecked, parts were made to fit that car to line up.
Looks like its gonna be playing with a lot of gaps.

yours looks like it lined up very well....only thing that looks kinda off is the grill...just sayin
i thought to make it sit flush you had to cut the metal part and change out the radiator support? anybody?
