As you would find with some mild research, the 99-00 front bumper will only fit a 96-98 Civic if you swap the hood, head lights and fenders along with it. That is why you will find many threads and kits for swapping 99-00 front ends onto 96-98s. FYI, there is no difference in bumpers between any of the trims.
sounds like....it doesn't fit.
The gap is not that bad but bad enough for some poeple who's really anal about little things like that.
The fact of the matter is, bottom line, it doesn't fit right, as it should.
true but sometimes a cheaper alternative way can be done to achieve same end goal especially for those that aren't as bless as the same as some other people in the world. I'm sure most of us have started out that way.
It's not the same end goal....one way is correct, the other looks like s**t and is incorrect.
I agree you, but we all know that's rarely the case especially with all the youngsters these days coming into the scene.
it will fit but if you want it to fit properly and not off i suggest you get the radiator support also but that requires cutting and welding to install
yea i have the 2k radiator support on my coupe and you can see my 96-98 front doesn't fit right anymore. I only got rid of my 2k front end mainly cause at the time I was in a really bad pinch for money to pay bills that was piling up on me.
It's up to the experienced to help the younger generations to do things properly and to avoid repeat mistakes. That can only be achieved by offering advice that does not promote incorrect actions. Let it be up to the enthusiast to modify the car properly or to half ass it. I'd personally be pissed to be told something is the right way or an okay way to do something and then be left with a car that isn't actually correct and stuck living with my poorly executed car.
