Will the front of 2001 fit a 2000 protege

Just wanted to know if any of you guys have heard of this. It seems that they started making everything for the 2001 and up proteges. Such as body kits, CF hoods, etc. What the hell happen to the 99-00 protege did they forget about those models. So does anyone know someone that has installed the frontend of a 2001 protege on to a 2000 model? If not is this possible?

I believe the only way to get this stuff to fit is to swap the font end from a 2001 to your 99/00 ,The hood ,lights ,and fenders /

you would need to replace the whole front end which is costly

i have a couple questions protege00dogg
when it rains or snows or when other things fall from above, what stops it from going into your engine bay? How much of a weight difference did it make on your car (just your best guess) and did it fit perfectly the first time or did you have to do some adjustments. I'm looking to get one next month and i'd like that one, but i dont want a pile of snow in my engine bay.

PS how much including shipping?
