my car has needed some body work for awhile now, and today my rear bumper got pretty fucked up, probably to where i need a new one... well i like the 98 rear bumper alot better, i think the exhaust looks cleaner on it.. and my front bumper needs some work but i want the 98 front too cause it looks way cleaner with a FMIC..
so can i put a 98 front end and rear bumper on my 95 teg? what all do i need from the 98's to do it if i can? head lights and bumpers? anything else?

 

The rear bumper bolts right on. No other modifications necessary.

With the 98+ bumper I think you also need both front fenders, which are rather expensive. You also need the headlights which are expensive. I'm not sure what else..

 

All you need for the front is the bumper, headlights, and I think headlight supports (I doubt it though). You don't need the fenders.

 

u will need
headlights
bumper cover
bumper lenses
bumper lens supports
I have this conversion on my car.

 

this is correct

 

hey.. DOZED is correct but what are bumper lens supports? I thought u just need the bumper lights? what are the supports? and where is it(the support) in the 94-97?

hey is there anyway to tell its not a 98 with this conversion? well i got qouted today at my local shop and to do this OEM at honda it would cost 1350 w/ out labor.. im thinking if i could find a deal on the light assembley cause that is 750$ of the conversion i could hook it up..

what do u guys think of a 95 w/ just a 98 rear bumper, i have a type R front lip on the front so its pretty low and personally i think my rear end looks a little tall right now anyways..

 

I'm pretty sure the 98's have full red tail lights.

Another way to tell its not a 98 is the color. Gray and teal are not 98+ colors I think. I don't think SE's came in those colors, though.

The wheels are also a giveaway.

 

how much does the rear bumper cost for a 98+ one?

how much does the front end swapout cost also?

thanks!

 

from honda at retail prices it will cost like 1400 for the whole assembly.. 330 rear bumper, 280 front bumper, and 750 lights.. theres not a chance in hell i am doing the conversion trough honda..

 

damn, you could buy and paint a nice bodykit for that same price. oh well.

hey man, tell me about your turbo... i wanna get one, but i'm afraid of reliability and maintenance. got any opinions? prices? it's either turbo or LS/VTEC within the next year. thanks

 

yeh u could buy a nice body kit for that price and i would if i liked any body kits on the market for the integra.. if i have to spend more then 750 for parts for the conversion im not doing it..

and about the turbo.. well i just bought it 2 weeks ago.. its on back order but im supposed to have before september.. its gonna sit in my room for awhile anyways while i save up for a hondata.. but turbo vs lsvtec, definitly go turbo, its like 5 times as much power per dollar as LS/vtec.. and a turbo can be reliable dont worry.. just do plenty of research before u buy one and put it on.. its all about the install and tuning!

i think that the 98 rear with 95 front + r lip will look good. hmm.. personally i like the 94-97 front bumper better than the 98+ but that's just me

i think it's because the ww lip for it is nicer than the 98+ hehe

 

Well to each his own but I liked the 98-01 bumpers so much I actually did it. For a little self glory, I want to say I was one of the first to do the conversion since I did mine in the summer of '98.

As far as just getting only the rear 98 bumper for your ride, I think it would look great with your 94-97 front end with itr lip. I say just get the oem kit for the 98-01 and put on the sides and the rear and sell the front lip to someone else...

As far as the mounting bracket goes for the bumper lenses, you do need them or the bumper lense will not stay on your bumper.

VTEC-LesS: If you liked the ww lip then do what I did, get the 98 bumper and add a WW front lip.
