im changing my front end on my 97 hatch to a 99-00. i thought all you needed was basically the front bumper, headlights, fenders, grille, and hood. i know some people said you needed the radiator support. but i am nearly 100% sure that you dont. im just not sure if you need the 99-00 headlights support. i think i read in another thread that without this you will have a gap.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
just want to make sure i have everything i need before i start. thanks again. payce.

 

wtf is a headlight support?

all you need is bumper, hood, fenders, lights, and grille.

 

you do need it.

you can cut your 99-00 bumper all up and it will mount in, but there is a quite displeasing gap between the bumper, and the hood. I have seen pics of some that have turned out nice, but not worth the headache, buy a 99-00 radiator support, tack it on.

Can you prove that you do not need the radiator support?

Here are some arguements:
