Well to me a 00 front end looks sick.
and i cant get away from the eg's.

I bought this car with the conversion done already but it had crappy gaps that everyone is always talking about.

you wouldn't believe how many ppl ask me what year it is lol.

i wanted to be different and i think this was the solution.
i don't look like every other hatch out their.

Oh I know this one! You put an EK front on an EG! =P

haha, in all seriousness, I completely understand you wanting to be unique, and I give you props for that. However in my opinion, that front looks way too big for the car, and I believe that Honda had a reason for redesigning the entire civic in '96, not just giving a facelift.

None of the conversions bothered to align the bumper gaps right.

if it didnt have gaps everywhere (i.e. hood, fender, bumper) it'd look good.

not bad at all. I think those front end conversions look better on coupes though.

I like it except that I think it makes the front look too long, there is too much car in front of the front wheels, its no balanced with the rear. So if you could shorten the bumper in front of the front wheels maybe it would look a little more balanced. Maybe a walker or BYS front bumper would do the trick, I dunno.

cleanly done though, usually this kind of front end swap comes out like a hack job.
