I'm about to swap my 2001 front bumper with the 1998-2000 HELP?
 

I'm about to swap my 2001 front bumper with the 98-00 one. Do I need other parts or will it fit since its almost the same car as my 2001. I got a brand new 98-00 4dr front bumper painted my stock Satin Silver for only $140 in total so I had to grab it. Has anyone done this, I am looking in to the WW kit that is the reason why I want to do this swap.

Not for the Sedan. It shoud be a direct swap. I'd imagine both bumpers use the exact same plastic clips and everything.

the only thing is the hood will not line up correctly..
u need the hood to to get a perfect fit.. watch when you put it on, it will be off on the hood line..
Oh by the way would you like to seel your 01 factory one?? email em at nguyennhu23@yahoo.com
to tal

Is it a big diff, do you think its not worth doing unless I get the hood as well?

I swapped my 98-00 Accord Coupe front bumber for the 2002 coupe front bumber. I had no problems what so ever. Yet again though the sedans are diff. :p

yo dreman... i did this swap for a friend of mine earlier this week... its kinda time consuming cuz u gotta take off a metal bar thats used for support for the bumper cuz the 98-00 doesnt line up with it... i had to take off both headlights to remove this bar... also when u close the hood... theres a bit of a gap left because the 98-00 bumper doesnt go as high up as yours... if u have anymore questions feel free to ask. oh yeah it does look much better wit the 98-00 bumper :naughty:

oh yeah my friend did this swap also to put on a wings west kit.. i'll see if i can find any pics

Did the gap look bad enough to not do the swap with out doing a 98-00 hood swap as well? or do you think the little gap wont be a ugly problem. If you can get pics that would be off the hook bro hit me up.

well its my friend ming.. he posted these pics on hondasociety http://board.hondasociety.com/showth...threadid=88001
i would recommend doing it... it looked real nice... the gap isnt too bad...not really noticeable from a distance.. maybe u can find someone to fill it in.. good luck:thumbup:

Did ming swap his hood as well as the bumper to the 98-00 version?
 

Great I was talking wit him today on the HS board. I forgot to ask him if he still has the 01-02 hood on his car because I see a little gap in the pic below but I kinda like it. Can you please confrim which hood he has on his car to give me an idea thanks alot man.
