I recently began the swap of the front end of my civic 97 to the 99 front end. I bought the 99 frojt bumper and drove around with that for a while but i never got around to changing...yeah i know..i was impatient but subside the fact. I wanted to know whether or the 99 OEM hood would fit on my car while the 97 fenders are still on the car?just wat to know if it'll line up or should i buy the 99fenders to be safe. I just ant to spend unnecessary money. Thanks guys.

You need hood, fenders, headlights, grill, and bumper at least. Possibly radiator support as well for correct fitment.

Ya know, it's funny that I've got a 99, and like the 96-98 bumpers a little better(ok, more specifically, I like the square foglights of the 96-98 better than the fogs for the 99-00)

Gonna need the whole front end, but you don't need rad support. One thing people neglect, and I would recommend: when you swap out the bumper cover, get ahold of a new styrofoam bumper support. Yours is probably smooshed like mine, and it makes fitment retarded. Save yourself headache.
