help?? 96-98 to 99-00 honda civic front conversion

i heard that it's just bolt on for the headlights fenders and front bumber cover... but my friend told me that there's some mods that needed to be done... he says that the bumper needs to be trimmed or something... and some new screw holes drilled for the head lights because they sit differently...

thanks for your inputs..

your friend is a dumb ***. you need 99-00 headlights, bumper, grille, and hood. i have done it twice and i have pics if you wanna see. its real easy. the first time i had to weld in a new radiator support because the old one was shot. it should take an hour or so to get everything on and aligned. any questions just pm me.

edit: BTW everything just bolts right on. Trust me

GsR HtCh:

thanks for the input... yeah, it kinda confused me when he told me that when some other people told me it's just bolt on... i had a head on collison on my driver side... so i was thinking i might as well covert my 97 ex coupe to a 99-00 front end cus it just looks better...

yeah, everything is a bolt on process. only thing you need to do is; trim the radiator support.
