Default CIVIC 96-98 to a 99-00 conversion

ayo, this is ydOubleOnie...

well i heard that the fronts of a 96-98 and 99-00 are really different, i haven't compared them really, but they look the same to me. is there anyway that i can get the HONDA 00 bumper without having to change everything else?

and letz say i did change everything... wut would i need to change to convert it? about how much would it cost, and is it worth it? let me know. thanx.

pond.

this is ydOubleOnie

i try using the search on this site, maybe itz cuz i'm a noob but nuttin comes up... i've tried conversions, civic conversions, civic 99 00 conversions... doesn't work.

and about the front end, wut do you mean? jus the bumper? or the fender, the hood and everything for 350? cuz thatz cheap...

and if i were to buy a 99-00 lights like custom lights, would they fit good ona my 97? thanx for replying.

you'll need the 99-00 bumper, grill, headlights, fenders and hood. they usually run a few hundred bucks. my 97 has a 00 civic si front end on it and it makes a hell of a difference. i probably would not have bought the car without it

no

no need at all to change the rad. support unless your worried about cutting to small cuts into the front bumper. otherwise everything fits fine.

Unfortunetly, I had to take the part where the intercooler sits. The sides of it are still there, but they probably wont help

You dont get pulled over for that? I had a s-10 back in my teen years and I had a bumper then bought a roll pan. Well I got pulled over and was told my truck was unsafe because I didnt have the rear impact bar. But I didnt get a ticket just a pig doing pig things I guess. That reminds me cops suck on petty *** ****.
