Default Will '98 rear bumper fit on '97?

like the title says. i'm talking about the rear bumper. i know it's a stupid question, but i have a '97 and i like the look of the '98 alot better. so will it fit properly?

arent the headlights different? I think that would cause some fitment issues.

acutally, its not a perfect fit. I have a 98 and a 97 rear, but the holes dont line up exactly... i had to use some heavy duty clips to keep it on...

I thought about doing the same, but I want to stay true to the 97' heritage, allthough 98+ rear tail lights are tempting

I have a 98+ rear bumper on my 95 GSR and it fits perfectly. You may need to adjust the metal bracket that attaches the bumper to the car. Both 98-01 front and rear bumpers fit the 94-97 integras. The front will need the 98-01 headlights and corners (only the amber ones accepted ).

My old 94 GSR had a 98+ bumper on it. Fit was perfect, although a professional body shop did it for me.
