hey guys... just curious this dude has a boomex kit for his 05 civic that he got rid of and he wants 250 for the kit... is there a way i can make it fit on my 2000 civic.. would i need a diffrent core support, remember i rear ended a suv and i need hood fenders lights bumper core support ect. if i buy all the parts can this kit work by chance?

you can always make it fit. will it look good? probably not.

i dunno, the body changes a lot from 2000-2005, completely different looking. so chances are if you do happen to get it to fit, it wont look good

as tomoyasu said, the body difference is way way huge. with bodywork, anything can be made to work, but the question is, will it look good. and in this case (and most other cases), my opinion is no. save your money, buy something that makes the car faster, or handle better instead :D.

i wouldnt bother. the amount of work that youll put in to making it fit will most likely just end up pissing you off in the end.

im sure you could go to a junk yard and get all the parts you need for pretty damn cheap.

It'd be an abortion if you attempted it.

If you have to replace the front end you'd probably be able to find a 96-98 front for a decent price since those guys usually go with the 99-00 front. That gives you more to work with too.
