hatchback dx front end?

There are a lot of stuff on this but I can't figure it out. I just got a 96 hatchback dx and I'm wondering what it takes to convert the front end to an si front end. I'm new to the car world as I always had trucks. Besides knowing I need a front bumper what else do I need and roughly what's the cost if I do the labor myself or should I just go with a bumper that has fog light mounts already and skip the conversion? A list of required parts would be greatly appreciated.

If it's like the 99 - 00 all you need is a lip and a grill . I have a 99 ex and if I was to convert my front end to a 99 si front end , I only need a lip and a mesh , since style grill . Should be the same to make yours a 96 si front end .

There was no '96 Si, hence the reason to need to change the whole front end to match to the body restyling in '99.

You have a '96. To convert it to the Si that was after the restyling, you need all the parts listed in post number 2.
