swap fenders, bumper, hood, headlights. Its pretty straight forward once you open the hood and look at it.

So 1998 civic's dont come in an SI model. The civic Si for the 6th gen's only came out in 99-00. So if you trade him, youre getting the shitty end of the deal because your front end is worth more and is nicer. He probably has a fake SI grill from ebay because a real one doesnt exist.

I dont know where the Op lives but in Canada, the USDM EX models are listed as Si's for most civic generations

Please do not ruin your car. Seriously this is a very poor decision that you will regret very much someday.
