it will fit change over the grill, headlights, fenders (maybe the inner guards), front bumper and dremel the 96-98 radiator stay to accomodate the new grill. you can also search up clubcivic/hondatech, to find relevant info for this question. Then a 99-00 bonnet will fit a 96-98 civic and it would then be a facelift model from the front end.
