Is it possible to put the '04 front bumper on an 00' - 03' s2000?

 

yes it is.

headlights will need slight modificatino to the brackets.

 

Yes, but it's really not worth it. You will have to blend into both front fenders and the hood to do it right.

What's wrong with the 00-03 style?

 

jason, i agree that the '00-'03 bumper looks better. i fell in love with it, and i don't like the '04 bumper much at all.

if you go to a really good paint shop though, you don't have to blend it. even less chance of needing to blend if you have black

You are thinking too hard. When I said blend, I was referring to blending in when painting. That's the only way you will get a good match on certain colors!

Not so. I work at a highly respected body shop and it's called "blending" when you overlap one panel to another. If you do you "blending" well, then you might say, it's a good match. In body shop land, blending is the word......

 

color matching body panels is VERY DIFFICULT.

only "real way" to match panels is to paint the whole car with the same mix. thats why you must blend it. ask any respectable body shop and they'll tell you.

and trust me, this ain't a civic forum.

 

wow, the 2004 bumper really DOES look nice.

 

on temple of VTEC the desinger said that the head lights and the bumper bolt on the the first gen i can not find a link but that is what i rember any one else read this???

 

search onb S2ki.com for "2004 conversion" there is a guy on there who did an entire front/rear bumper, center console, head and tail light conversion to an 01 i believe and it looks great

I think the 04 headlights might be a little sharper around the corners where it meets the fenders then then previous years ones
