phan · Post by **phan** » July 14, 2005

and i had a few questions. i want to go 99-00 front. now, are all 99-00 civic front ends the same? is there a difference found between say a 99 ex vs. a 99 si? what about the rear bumpers? any differences amongst 96-00?

and i'd need a full front end to convert from my 97 - 99/00 right? i.e. bumper, fenders, lights, hood?

thanks for the info, guys.

the bumpers are a direct fit and there is no need to change the hood if im not mistaken.......oh by the way congrats on the new hatch!

i thought the headlights changed shape a bit from 99-00. if that's the case, then a different hood would be required to accomodate this. john? anyone? someone answer all my questions, i want to get all my front end parts before the weekend so i can start some body/prep work before paint.

all 99-00 are the same. coupe, hatch what ev. you are going to need hood, bumper, fenders, lights, upper grill.. im not sure if the RAD support is the same or not but that can be cut or whatever if need be.

exactly basicly every body part from the doors foward.

The rad support is not needed. My buddy Randy (jdmej8) did the 99-00 front end conversion on his 98 just recently.

His Car:

So if you have any specific questions you might want to ask him. But Jon is right, you will infact need Hood, Headlights, Fenders, Grill, and Bumper. All 99-00 Honda Civics regardless of the model use the exact same front end, however the Si/SiR came with a a different front grill (from the Civic Type R), and front underspoiler (also from the Civic Type R). When it comes to the rear bumpers they also got a change in 99-00. However the Hatchback bumper will NOT fit on a Coupe/Sedan, and vice versa. There was also an optional rear underspoiler offered for the Si/SiR which has now been discontinued.

Good luck with your project.

ok, so the 99-00 HATCH rear bumper changed after 96-98. is it a drastic change? do they make any lips for either? i just want the 99 front, si lip and ctr grill (or whichever has that black looking grill w/ no emblem). i'm going to need this shit quick, want to prep/primer this weekend
