hey if i was to convert a 98 civic hatch to the 99 - 00 front end what would i need?

FRONT:

*front bumper
*hood?
*fenders?

REAR:

*tail lights
*rear bumper?

and how much would the conversion cost me after i have all the parts or is it a DIY?

front:
*lights(might as well get some CTR ones)
*grille(get the SI/CTR grille)
*front bumper
*hood(or a carbon fiber hood)
*fenders

rear:
*tailights
you don't need the rear bumper from a 99. 96-00 have all the same rear bumpers.

pricing varies whether or not you buy them new or used. and also, if you need the body parts painted, that is extra $$$.

 

ekrev broke it down for you, am i the only one that like the 96-98 front end over the 99-00?

 

i like the 96-98 front ends better.

 

i dunno... the 98 front is kinda "too clean" if there can be such a thing...

but i'm gonna do the fog light conversion:



what do you think?

oh yeah, one more thing... after i get all the parts mentioned, they'll fit on with out having to do any other mods to my car?

thnx guys.

 

i like the 96-98 version better

especially with a CTR or spoon lip.

 

and the sir lip is nice too on the 96-98 bumper

 

i like the 96-98 front end better. everyone and their mothers brothers are doing the 99-00 front end with the si lip and si grill... same sh*t i see on everyones car.
atleast w/ the 96-98 you can opt for the CTR lip, spoon CF lip, OEM flat black lip, ETC ETC.

 

stick wit ur 96-98 front end and just get a typeR lip, saves money for other goodies

 

96-98 and 99-00 rear bumpers are different.

 

no i disagree, the 96-98 and 99-00 HATCHBACKS have the same rear bumper

 

I like the 99-00 bumper better, but that's just IMO.

 

I've installed the oem fog lights on my 96 bumper and added a Tsunami lip. It's nice the way the outer corners of the lip joins the sides of the fogs. Just to tell you can still keep your front bumper and add a lip and/or oem fog and it'll still look sweet.


take care!

 

Do you have a pic you can post?

 

yes pic please! i wanna see the OEM fogs

 

96-98

 

you also need the bumper support from a 99-00 and modify a tad bit to fit

 

ALL I WANT IS THE 99-00 STOCK FENDERS..!! DOES ANYONE HAVE THAT???

 

it seems like alot of work for a slghty differnt headlight and two diffrent holes in a front bumper. i would say get projector lights... and a nice body kit

 

HAHA that's all I wanted for 2 months, took me forever to find them bitches. Good luck

 

Same for 96-00.

 

check my other post called "how much should i pay for"

someone said they could get fenders and all for the 99 - 00

i'm not sure about all the details myself...

but it wouldn't hurt to follow it up?

 

Coupes are different. Hatches are same.

 

i just did this conversion
ill get some pics up once i put on my carbon fiber hood, which should be this wednesday
the fenders were a bitch to find, i paid about 80 bucks for both shipped to my door
try ebay or thepartstrader.com

 

hey, once you have all the parts, is it just a simple bolt on procedure or did you have to go to a shop?
