Default What kind of front bumper is this?

I was looking around on Google Images and I found this 1999 Honda Civic Si that has a few minor mods (nothing unpleasing).

I want the same front bumper on my Civic.

I wasn't sure if that front bumper in the picture was stock or what. Can anyone please enlighten me?

Assuming that is a legit SI, it's completely stock.

The front bumper was only in 99-00 Civic's of all trims, but that comes with OEM Foglights + OEM Mesh grill + OEM SI Front bumper Lip.

To get the 99-00 front end onto a 96-98 you'll need to get the fenders, front bumper & grill, radiator support, headlights, hood.

That's a heartbreaker. What other options do I have for my 98 DX? A bumper that'll just bolt in place of the old one.

PS: That's an awesome thread you linked to. Thanks for sharing.

I didn't use a new radiator support on my 00' converted 96' I used to own.

The radiator support isn't strictly needed, but it is "best practice". There are brackets on the radiator support for 99-00 that aren't there for 96-98.

You don't need a 99-00 radiator support.. You can simply modify it.

EDIT: "it" being the 96-98 core support
