 Do you really need your parents approval to be with him? Do you love him? if he wants to meet him then allow it. See what happens, why not.
And why don't they like him? Hav they actually met him in person yet? If not then how can they not like him?
Seems to be your overly worried about him meeting them.

 He wants your parents' approval? Sounds like a really good guy. I completely get that your parents don't want to like an older guy that's been seeing their little girl since she was 15. As a father I'd go ballistic too. But your relationship has been going on for 2+ years, you're still in to it, and your guy wants to man up and meet the parents. This has the hallmarks of a relationship that might actually go the distance, and if that's the case, as a father I'd certainly want to know the guy who is so important in my daughter's life.
Prepare your parents. Let them know that this guy is good, he's important to you, and that they need to give him a fair chance. With any luck at all they'll surprise you and be at least decent to him. As a father of a 17 year old myself, I'd have a hell of a lot of respect for a guy who was wanting to go into the lions den like he is.

 I could use more info on this one before I advise you.
Exactly why don't your parents like him?? A reaction this strong is usually brought about for a reason.
