The way I see it, different strokes, diferent folks. Fortunately Ive matured to the point I dont pick at other peoples ideas or notions, let the man have his fun if he wants to. In any case, i'm not saying that its rice, but its gonna be a bitch, trust me, Id just buy an EK. Its possible, but its really a pain. Good luck if you have your mind set on this endeavor...

Well I got the ***** to tell ya what looks good.

The EK front end doesnt work on a EG because the headlights are too big relative to the car's other smaller features, and to the smaller body.

The only front end swap that looked good was the EG front on the del sol because the del sol's front end was too girly.

yet again...no one cares about your opinion, its his car he will do what he likes

he asked for if it was possible, not if its rice...he likes it so he will probably do it and doesnt consider it rice

i actually like it. I find the EK hatch absolutely hideous, especially the back of it. Just gross. On the EG, it actually looks aright.

I saw one up in VA about a week ago and it looked like ****. no because it looks bad but because it was done poorly. the hood and headlights were horribly off. it just looked like a ricey P.O.S. don't do it unless you are proficient at body work. and even then, it doesn't look that good.

its an alright idea all you need is the whole front clip and jdmboy sells it for like 700 with a cf hood. its all on what you choose it looks alright but as others said it might be rice or might be nice all on what you like.

I bet you're the type of person trying to preach to others, but I wouldn't doubt that your car has parts that didn't come stock on it, probably even parts from other model vehicles. But that's not you and you're not a hypocrite, but again I doubt it.

A waste of WHOSE money. Maybe you should think that over for awhile then understand how it affects you. Maybe you should start funding money towards his car then help-- I mean lecture.

Tomorrow I'll wake up and rejoice that my thoughts aren't as narrow as yours. It is however nice to be able to see the people who do things to get GOOD FEEDBACK here instead of doing what they want. Maybe someday you'll understand how to be your own person. Follower.


What's so hilarious is all of the righteous people seem to be passing off these opinions like they're factual statements. No matter how much you put behind your words, they are still opinions.

For the original poster, take a look at this to make your own decisions:

Anyone have an issue with anything I've said, feel free to PM me so that I can properly ignore your stupidity.

So does this involve removing the core support and putting the EK one in its place or is there a way to make the eek front end jive with the egg support? I've seen it in person done well and done poorly. It doesn't look horrible, but I'm a big fan of the EG front end so I wouldn't ever do it to my own car.

I dunno. I guess I can think of 18 million other things to do with money that don't involve making my pretty car into a questionable one .
