Icon2 96 to 00 Front End Conversion Question

I did a 00 front end conversion on my 98 hatch and got into an accident in the rain from some teen girl who cut me off.

The whole front end got damaged except passenger fender and headlight. I have bought all new parts to fit back on, except... my radiator support is bent and now nothing fits right.

So when I go to buy a new radiator support, should I buy the 98 one again or just go with a 00?

Whatevers cheaper, you can use both.
96-98 will need very slight modfication though

i would do a 99-00 if you're going to stay with that front end.

Get the 99/00 radiator support if you can, the hoods are different on the 98's and it may effect the fitment around the headlights, maybe..

By the way which parts did you buy? I'm assuming 99/00 again so just roll with 99/00 support.

the only major differences with the radiator supports are where the two tabs at the top of the bumper are, that's why I said 99-00.
