Yes u need hood bumper fenders and headlights. U can make it work with ur core support but to do it right u will need the 99-00 support!

 

[jimmy_rose92]

but i can make it work with what i got if i bought the bumper and grill??? just doing it the right way i would need the whole front end???

its not worth yhe money imo. 96-98 is sexier flaunt whatcha got

 

[jimmy_rose92]

i got a 98 civic ex.

 

[mymmeryloss]

U need the grill, bumper, hood, fenders and headlights


No way to do it without all of that.

 

[jimmy_rose92]

alright well then might just stick with what i got cause aint got the money for all that s**t lol
cause i need new bumper and a grilll, my fenders are good and my hood is alright,

 

[mymmeryloss]

96-98 front end owns 99-00 imo...

 

[jimmy_rose92]

lol yea but there about the same

 

[mymmeryloss]

Not even close my friend...

96-00 core supports are the same. Have ordered many and they all came labeled 96-00 civic.

 

[jimmy_rose92]

yea guess it works about the same lol similiar in some ways but it s different without a doubt!

 

[jimmy_rose92]

so they are the same??? 98 and 99??
if i got a 99 grill and bumpe will
go right on my 98??

 

[mymmeryloss]

I already told u no!

Dammit 2slo, now u have him all confused...

[jimmy_rose92]

[mymmeryloss]

Yes u need hood bumper fenders and headlights. U can make it work with ur core support but to do it right u will need the 99-00 support!

First post had all the answers. 96-98 radiator support DOES differ from 99-00 but only slightly from what I've seen.

LOL, memory. I feel your pain. I don't know how many times I have been through the same thing. Some times it just doesn't get through.

OP: NO it won't work. There is no simple way to do it and not really any short cuts.
