2000 front conversion

[wikdcivic26]

hey guys..I have a 96 civic hb..and I just bought a 99 si front bumper and headlights from my homeboy..and he said everything else should just bolt up..so I just wanna make sure if hes right..do I need anything else to make the bumper fit or it really just bolt straight up even with a 96 civic..

 

[Bruckhoff_34]

you will also need 99-00 fenders and hood

 

[SickEk]

he will need the grille also if im right.

 

[enycesam]

bumper, grill, hood, fenders and headlights.

 

[cgpEJ6]

and to modify his radiator support or get one from a 99-00

 

[wikdcivic26]

thnx for the info...damn..and I was going to try to put it on tomorrow

 

[wikdcivic26]

and I also have aftermarket z3 fenders already on the car..they werent exactly adding up to the bumper so that may be a 99 fender..whats the diff on the hood..they look very similar to me?

 

[wikdcivic26]

bump..

 

[EK|B]

You should just get OEM fenders, they look cleaner than the Z3 fenders.

Hood, bumper, fenders and headlights are cut different, dats why u can't use the 96 fenders.

99-00 > 96-98 btw .

But yes: hood, front bumper, upper grill, fenders, headlights, and radiator support from a 99-00 or modify the 96-98.

 

[Szady]

The heaadlights have a slightly different design between the 96-98 and 99-00. The 99-00 headlights look abit more "finished" than the 96-98 ones.

Nice Sig.. Ryo of Wildfire..

 

[bompdrop]

the radiator support from the 96 - 98 is the exact same as 99 - 00

 

[ca6vtec]

the radiator support from the 96 - 98 is the exact same as 99 - 00

I know that and you that. Only difference is the tabs on the support that the hold the bumper up. the on the 96-98, they are bigger and on the 99-00 smaller, but its not a big deal. easy conversion.

 

[bompdrop]

yeah, its not like you have to cut it off and weld on a new one, i've done this conversion on a friends 97 civic, very very easy and the end result its very noticable. the 99 - 00 is way more clean.

 

[PhntmSk8r]

false.

Im running the 96-98 radiator support with a 99-00 front and i have no problems. Only had to relocate the center tabs for the bumper, which a self tapping screw did quite easily. Bumper even covers the original hole.

You will however have to beat in the ends of your bumper support with a hammer to clear the bumper, or get a bumper support from the 99-00

99-00 conversion is clean...but ya almost need pretty much the complete front end.
