...personally, I think the only conversion worth anything is the DC2 on an EG, or the EG on the Del Sol.

okay theres a visual....now does everyone know what im talkin about now???? The hood doesn't just bolt on...i know the fenders have to be cut and i know the hinge would have to be modified but, but still the bolt holes do not line up.

I might as well post up a few del Sols with front end conversions too. Some are better than others...

I agree if there's a choice, go with the 5G coupe/hatch front end.

'98-'01 Integra


"JDM" 3G Integra front


modded 3G Integra


RSX headlights (kill it, kill it now)


5G coupe/hatch


'96-'98 Civic


'99-'00 Civic


S2000 headlights and taillights

I am about to do the same swap. I am in the process of buying parts. Why?... some may ask...

Well.. right now buying a 2000 si front end for the cost is cheaper than buying new Del sol parts.

So... to you sir...

I say go for it!
