if you have the money it can be done, but it's definitely not bolt on...come on you open the door for like 2 seconds do you really need a different handle?

Re: integra door handles on a civic (bleh)
if you must, you'll probably have to take it to a body shop to do it.
in a nutshell, you'd have to make sure the hole for the the door handles is the proper size. if its too big, you have to possibly weld (or jbweld) in a piece of sheet metal to fill the space, then cut to fit. once the door handle fits, it should be easy hook in the latch and other hardware. you may need bondo around it to dress it up, and then some touch up paint.
i've thought about this from time to time about putting eg handles on my ek, but its just not worth it on my daily driver

Re: integra door handles on a civic (iaredavid)
yea ive had the integra for parts in my garage for a month and a half and i really like the handles... they also look like they have the exact same shape, but if there is any custom anything requiring welding or bondo i wont be doing it.
the thing is nobody is able to provide anything concrete....so i might have to try and see what happens, reluctantly

well, that's like saying "can i put Chevy Tahoe door handles on my civic"...its basically the same. the integ door handles are more similar though. they just dont fit in the same hole.
but if they did, i dont see why you couldnt get it to work.
