Anyone know how to do the 98 to 00 front end conversion? what do i need beside a front end? pics of the process before and after would help a dood out.

Once you factor in the cost of paint, the conversion would cost more than buying a complete 00.

not even my dood. i have part of ek9 front end all oem with type r side skirts and type r lip for 250. all i need is fenders and bumpers and i can do the conversion. how is a that gonna be more than a complete 00 if im doin it myself. im not even concerned about the paint job.

i heard the type r fender is wider than a normal civic fender
i think u gota mod ur rad support to fit in ur head light
everything else is plain ole bolt ons
u will be happy with the outcome

Just trying to give some advice to you, because most people don't realize the cost of painting a car after changing body panels. If your not concerned about paint then its a pretty simple conversion and it looks sick, good luck getting it done. Post pics when you finish.

if the parts are the same color of ur car then u can get away with just wax and polish
painting cost the most on body panels
but good luck

nah its type r yellow and i dnt have the fenders yet but i ordered a em1 bumper and fenders and ik i can change my rad support which wood be money idnt needa spend wen i can cut the mounts. but i needa make sure but no one is helpin a dood out

em1 fender and bumper is the same as any other civic
only diffrent is the grill and the lip
oem type r or si grill and lip has mounting screws to snug fit and it look more legit
u only need to cut some of the support out to fit in ur head lights
i seen alot of people convert there 98 to 99 but i just never happen to ask them how

i hope this help u
