i have a 96-98 civic, looking to do the 99-00 front end conversion. I don't want to ghetto rig anything, so I was just going to spring for the 99-00 radiator support since I can get it for dirt cheap. does the radiator support just un-bolt from the front of the car, or do I need to get a body shop to weld it on for me?

 

I'm pretty sure it's welded on.

 

you need a bodyshop to weld it on for you , i did my last week , cost me $5oo to cut the old support off and weld on a new one

 

WOW $500

Well, scratch that idea.


Can anyone tell me how exactly do you have to modify the 99-00 bumper to fit onto the 96-98 radiator support? pics would be nice.

thanks again guys

 

the radiator support is spot welded on,..you can always tear off your stock one and ~bolt~ on a new support,...this is what i did,..but i only put on a new support for the conversion because i fawked my car up,..it would be much easier to modify a 99-00 front bumper to fit,..i think i heard somewhere you have to cut small triangles and shiet to make it fit right,..not sure on where to cut though

 

that sounds easy enough...

also, with a different radiator support, I take it the headlights from 99-00 have the same mounting points as the 96-98. they must not have changed much at all...:dunno:

 

yea,..you can mount the 99-00 headlights to the 96-98 support

 

thanks man you've been a big help
