'97 Civic Coupe Front End Question

[zschwarz88]

I have a 97 civic copue and wanted to put a 99-00 civic front end on it and eventually a lip...but that dosent matter...if i were to buy a 99-00 civic hood, grille, fenders and front bumper would it pretty much be bolt on with no modifications??? thanks

I am trying to do the exact same thing to a 97 EX. I also have questions and a request for parts if anyone has a 99-00 front end they want to sell.

Thanks

yes it is basically just a bolt on. if you wanted to do it 100% right you would have to change the radiator support b/c there are some mounting holes on the new bumper that will have no place to bolt up to with the 97 support. if you just want to bolt everythingon you can just cut the extra mounts off. i will look and try to get pics of what i mean.

you will also need the 99-00 headlights in addition to the hood, fenders, bumper and grille
