Ok you guys helped me buy rims and a header set, now for the gold...

Got a Black Widow hood for my car offa ebay for 200 to my door. Deal of the century, I think....already painted.
Now the bad part, I have a 97, this hood is for a 99-00.
I was pondering cutting it but it will still look like crap. so....
What does a front end conversion to a 99-00 entail? I know I will need Fenders,headlights, grill and a bumper. Is that it??
Will the bolts line up?
Has anyone ever done this?
Thanks In Advance Guys

have u tried to fit on the new hood already? I believe the only changes they made to the 99-00 model is front and rear bumpers, if not sell the hood and buy one for 96-98 instead of trying to replace your whole front end just cause u got a deal on a hood.

hood, bumper, headlights, grill, fender.
i would get the grill that doesnt have anything in it, not even mesh, then get the oem fog lights for 99-00, and clear out the oem healdights, or get the ctr ones. stock fenders are cool with clear turn markers

Will these parts from a 99-00 directly bolt on to a 97 body?

yes sir direct boltification, should get the 99-00 console too, i never really took the time to look at it closely, but i like my 96-98 one

What do you mean console?

climate controls and such. (you need the heater box with that fyi)

wait a minute, if i just want to change the front end of my car, why do I need a heater box? wtf are we talking about?

Also requires a lot of rewiring... nothing is plug and play..... not worth the trouble IMO.
The 96-98 cup holders own all though! multiple pieces let you put stuff down low out of the view of thieves.

As for the front end conversion.. it's already been said... hood, fenders, headlights, bumper and grill...

sorry, post jacking, i was just commenting to civic_d16y5. all you need is the above mentioned fenders, hood, bumper...etc...

i like the 99-00 bumper better than the 96-98 and i have a 97. i need a new bumper and was wondering if the 99-00 stock bumper would fit directly on, or if there was anyway i could get it to. PLEASE HELP ME!!

no, it wont. you have to change the fenders, hood, and lights for it to fit perfectly. like this post just said

then if i did that would it fit? cuz i just got into an accident and i need a bumper a grill headlights and a hood, but i could just get fenders to make things fit better. would that work?

Holy sh*t. They've told you like 5 times already. Get all the parts they've listed, and they will all fit.
