why not post pics? you can photoshop your picture and see the difference between 'high' and low

in which country do you life? ohhh, welcome at AF, by the way...

Nice car revs. I like the rims on your car.

I'm a little confused. You said your car was a '99, but you still got the '96-'98 bumpers on your car... or was your car one of the last with those bumpers?

BTW: is that a 1.4i?

[revs]

yep its a 99, only got the car second hand last april. So those bumpers are the 96-98 model? that makes me confused now because in the near future i want to order a front lip spoiler, does that mean i have to get one for a 96-98 civic? that means the 99-00 bumpers had the three vents right? oh yes my car is a 1.4i

[Goosse]

If you order a front lip, you should order the '96-'98 one. Strange that you still got those bumpers. Your car will be one of the last produced ones with those bumpers...

I think you already know the difference but just to be save

'99-'01 front



'96-'98 front



BTW: how much hp do you have? I also got the 1.4i and it came stock with 75hp...

hi thanx for the help! i was just lookin around the netand i think my head headlights are of the 96-99 variety! (lookin at the pics), which means it isn't the 99 model! (although when my dad bought it at the dealership they said it was a 99 and it is an "s" reg). So i guess the years' reg plate doesn't mean its the same year as the cars model? (insert duh! if required!). Is there anywhere on the car where i can check the cars info? Sorry if i sound like such a newbie but i'm new to hondas and i only started modifying last month! heres a pic of my car from the front.

[revs]

sorry, i meant my headlights are of the 96-98 variety. They are as sleek and don't have loads of chrone with those new style indicators. thanx for any input!

You have a before '99 model from look. You can also see it at the back bumper. If you have got black protection strips on the bumper, it's a '96-'98. Also, if your stock tail lights still have an orange part in it, this is also a prove that's '96-'98 model. The interieur is also different.

This doesn't mean your car isn't a '99. It could be your car is produced in '98, but came to the dealer in '99. I can't really explain in in English, but somethimes there's a little delay between the real production date of the car and the year that's given by the dealers...

But if you order parts for your car, always say that's a '98. Expecialy when you order something for the front end of your car (lip, headlight, hood,....). The shape of the rear bumper is the same so a rear lip for a '98 fits a '99, same with the mirrors, wheels, wings...

little more info on the facelift:
difference between the '98 and '99:
-complete new front end, different hood, fenders, headlights, bumpers... If you see the 2 model years next to each other it's real easy to spot the differences. The '99 model headlight are more 'straight' at the side.
-little bit of differences at the rear. '99 bumpers without the black protection strips, rear lights red clear ('98 still has the orange in it)
-diferent interieur (seats, center console, pattern of the seats..)

BTW: after looking at the car, you definately have a after '97 model. The '96 had a color coded front grille. You have got a chrome surounding around it, so '97 or '98 (or '99???)

thanx goosse! u really helped me out alot. Its a good thing i know this now rather than making an expensive purchase eg lights or hood and then finding out it doesn't fit!

Hi,

You can also see the VIN of your car and over there it will say the production year .

Anyway, It's Honda, so keep it up

[revs]

where is the vin located? btw my exhaust is made by a company called dpmotorsport, and its damn loud!
