[enycesam]

You need to completely change the entire front end. Meaning, Headlights, bumper, side fenders, grill, hood.http://passwordjdm.com/product.asp?numRecordPosition=36&P_ID=1283&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=253

bumper headlights hood fenders. you can smash the rest to fit lol.

edit: damn beat to it by like 30 seconds. argh!

You also gotta modify the radiator support (I think?). If not, theres gonna be a small gap between the hood and the front bumper.

to be honest....a buddy of my fraternity bro was actually able to put a 99-00 bumper without changing anything else. he modified the bumper somehow.

if seen that before. The person who did it did some crazy chopping and matting of both bumpers.

i did it here is a pic of my car

it actually wasnt that bad it was easier than i thought. the bumber was free and all i had to buy was lights side fenders and the lip thats about it and the hood was from a friends shop and the grill was to so i got hook ups. only cost me like 300.


o and one more thing. the lip is a pain in the ass to put on.

I personally prefer the 99-00 front, it's much sexier IMO.

 

[tnk]

just keep the current front end u have. but if u do decide to go the 99-00 front end, give me a reason besides 'it just looks better'

 

[oc_civic]
