Default 99-00 Civic front end conversion on 98 coupe

I have a buddy club kit but I am thinking of just converting my front end to 99-00 and getting the oem lip and just painting my side skirts. Also, someone hit my rear bumper a while ago so that will need to be replaced as well. I heard the 99-00 rear bumper just bolts up with no mods. Is that true?

I am assuming I'd need the following for the front end conversion:

headlights
front bumper w/ grill
oem lip

Will I need anything else? I am really hoping I wouldn't need anything like the fenders and hood.

Price wise do you think this would be a comparable project with getting my buddy club kit put on?

If there will be any cutting or shaving necessary for this conversion then I am not interested.

Any info and opinions will be greatly appreciated.

I would have to say you need a new hood and fenders too. The 99-00 headlights are larger so I would believe you would need to replace the whole thing. This is from memory so that is what I think, dont quote me on it. As for the rear, i do believe it's straight bolt on.
