Can i ?!?!?!

My car is a 96 with a kouki swap i was curious if i had to buy a 97 or 98 front bumper and 96 every thing else?

[biggie]

Probably depends on how the swap was done.

A normal swap would have done everything (bumper, bumper support, hood, fenders, headlights, headlight brackets, corners). Those are all different from 95/96 to 97/98.

Poop i have no idea it was done when i got it.

All that should be different is the front bumper, headlights, fenders, and hood. So buy 97/98 if you need that stuff or tail lights, everything else is the same between 95-98. I think thats what youre asking, does that answer your question?

[biggie]

Taillights are interchangable, but are different styles between zenki and kouki.

Forgot to mention grille being different between the 2.

I'd find a local person with a real kouki and compare to see what on yours is different. As I said I believe kouki bumper support and light brackets are different, but its probably possible that someone could have modified them to work.

Also to be sure. You do have a 1996 model right? And someone said they swaped the kouki front end? Just making sure you don't actually have a '97 model with a '96 manufactured date.

Bumper supports and headlight brackets are different im pretty sure, i havent really seen anyone even use the bumper support when theyve done the swap

correct also the kid who had it before me did the swap. Everything is good i dunno about the bumper support though . i need to get the whole car painted cause the front doesnt match the back its like 1 shade off but im realy anal about these things ill look at it even though i have no idea what im actualy looking for lol.

I still have no idea what you're asking? Are you replacing parts because they're damaged? Or just getting it repainted? Having the different front end is not that big a deal, it doesn't affect anything mechanical. If its a kouki, and you need to replace some front body part, just get the part from a 97-98. Simple enough.

i have a 96 it was zenki now kouki swaped i was courious if i wanted a body kit if i would just get a 97 front and 96 rest of the way around or if i could do 97 all the way around cause they dont look like they changed to me.

if u want to put body kit on already converted kouki..just get a kit for 97-98 yr..but it should be really same for 96-98...but everything fits!

[240sxcl50]

cool cool i just needed to know what the situation was i know somme about 240s but thats like next to nothing still.

[SX APPEAL]

Oh OK... you didn't mention body kit in your first post. If thats the case then yeah just get a kit for a 97-98, cause the front end is the only thing thats different, lots of people run kouki side skirts and such on their zenkis, it all bolts up.

[240sxcl50]

Ok thats good information to know thanks everyone.

[driftneil]

Every part from the 95-98 are interchangable, just depends which front you want on.
Where are you at in PA bro? I have a kouki bumper, fenders, and hood, all aftermarket. and I also have everthing for a zenki too. Hit me up, maybe we can strike a deal.

If you dont have the money....WHy are you even thinking about a front end swap? Get the car running first........

[240sxcl50]

The front end is swapped but some guy said if i took off the kouki bumper that the aftermarket kouki one wouldent fit i would have to get a zenki bumper? i was jw i definantly want the car to run good before any visual stuff.

If the stock kouki bumper is hanging on there just fine, any aftermarket one will too
