Yes, any bumper from a 96-00 coupe or sedan is interchangeable. 96-98 and 99-00 look slightly different at the bottom but either will fit.

Si front lip will not fit a 96-98 bumper. I would buy the bumper from majestic Honda or something like it if your buying brand new, I think it was 280$ for my front bumper

If you're referring to the rear lip, then yes it will bolt right up. If you're talking about the front lip then no, it won't. 96-98 lips are compatible with 96-98 bumpers and 99-00 lips are compatible with 99-00 bumpers. As far as side skirts, there is no such thing as an Si side skirts, they use the same ones as all of the other models. Being painted is the only difference.

Except for you can't just swap bumpers, you need to change the entire front end to do the conversion.

Punctuation is your friend. Are they not teaching english and grammar in schools anymore?

No im just needing rear bumper with lip for my 97 ex for now so im looking to get 99-00 si bumper which I've found brand new for $172.16 but it don't come with lip and they don't carry rear lips just front. So where would I get a 99-00 si rear lip that'll bolt to my new si bumper? Im afraid to get one from ebay because I've herd you have to modify them to fit. Would any of y'all have one for sale or know where I can get a brand new one again thanks for the feed back****** I know the fiberglass ones wont do me any good but im looking on ebay now and found urethane CTR lips will those bolt to the si bumper I've been asking about?

Get oem bumpers if you want perfect fitment, sure they cost more but it will work out far better in the end. As for the rear lip try to find a OEM one as they mount beautifully. I love mine =)

You can buy the 99-00 Si rear lip here. http://www.icbmotorsport.com/hooem99siopr.html

Just for the record, there is no such thing as an Si bumper. All 99-00 bumpers are the same, the only part that is unique to the Si would be the lip itself. There are good pictures of how it mounts there too.

The lip in that link will fit any 99-00 bumper. It will not fit a 96-98 bumper. It does not matter whatsoever what year the car is. The 99-00 rear bumper will fit on your car without any other modifications.

The CTR only came as a hatchback therefore the CTR rear lip will only fit hatchbacks. The coupe/sedan share a common rear bumper but the hatchback is different.

I'm guessing what you are talking about since you mentioned eBay, are the ones that are called Type R style. These are just aftermarket lips that actually look nothing like the CTR lip and more like the 99-00 Si. They are aftermarket and usually fairly cheap, they're not all made by the same company so fitment is questionable and whether or not 96-98 is compatible with 99-00 is just kind of a toss up.
