Wrong. Stop spreading misinformation if you don't really know.
I made myself a mesh insert for my 96-98 grille. I tried to make my friend one using the same template as I did mine on, (for his 00 SI) and it was a big no go.
THEY WILL NOT SLIDE RIGHT IN.

The good thing about the 96-98 grill is you can make a killer looking one, just cut the middle part out and insert a black mesh. That is, if you want an OEM grill. Us 99-00 guys have to buy an Si grill. Dont get me started on a CTR grill, ~$300
