'97/'00 differences

I have a 2000 civic EX (2dr), and I may have a '97 (2dr) for parts. My question is if there are any differences between the two? Or would everything bolt right up?

This should give you everything you need to know. There are differences on the bumpers, hoods, and interior a/c radio controls.

The main reason I wanted the parts car was for the hood/front bumper cover.. Do you guys think it would look goofy to convert a '00 civic front end to a '97?

Most people convert the other way around, but I like the front end of my '97.

Personally, the 99-00 front end looks MUCH better. I'm not sure, but I think you also have to swap over the radiator core support. Unless you wanna do more work, I'd just find a 99 or 00 parts car instead.
