just curious what it takes to put a 92-95 civic front on a 95 del sol? i was told most of it would bolt up but i didnt know what all was needed? also if you have any pics of del sol's with 92-95 fronts, 96-00 front or 94-00 teg front then post them up

thanks

I believe the swap required the hood, bumper, headlights, reinforcements (maybe), and the fenders (which would have to be cut in half and welded together).

Try a search - front-end swap questions have been asked before and should answer most of your questions.

i did a search but couldnt find any thing usefull

Why would you do that? It's practically the same....only the del Sol has the fogs..

The Destroyer

Could u just replace the whole front end with 92-95 parts?
like front quarter panels, hood,forn t end and headlights?
Arent the chasisn in general very similar....Iv seen ek front end on a eg but that required the welding.(oh well im not sure.i just thought alot of it would bolt right up)
and im prob wrong.

Looks great IMHO:

Here are some I found. I've seen a 92-95 conversion, but I can't find pics.



JDM ITR Conversion

That JDM ITR conversion is awesome. I think it looks better on Sols than on ITRs

Ok maybe not.

I like the '92-'95 Civic front end and the JDM ITR front because the headlights, since they're more horizontal and long, make the Sol's body look wider and lower.

Has anyone ever seen the Del Sol front on a 5th gen Civic?

Timmayeg

so anyone know what is exactly needed to do the 92-95 front?

you will need the hood, bumper, fenders, rad. support, lights and corners.

you have to cut your fenders somewhere in the arch of the wheel well and same place on the 92-95 fenders and weld them together. and then weld in the rad. support. then bolt on the hood, lights corners and finally the bumper. and you should have it finished.

Timmayeg

hmm doesnt sound to bad

euclid

that jdm itr conversion on an eg would be brutal. im not gonna throw down like 3 grand for a set of headlights though.

Just buy a freaking civic......I think it look ugly with the civic front end.....

insane900rr

The 92-95 (fifth gen.) has all of the same bolt-up points as the del sol. The only thing that you will have to change is the core support.

BackSideSA

i dont know, but i think that honda made these cars they way the did for a reason.

but to everyone there own. the ITR front looks hard though

JB93eg6JDM

Just buy an eg way better then Del Slows!

StatGSR

i think the ITR front looks the best, but i like both the 5th and 6th gen fronts on the sol too.

poison

ugh. I'm not a fan of any of those.

Although, I HAVE seen S15 Sylvia front end and S2000 taillights on a very very clean del sol and looked awesome.

SpoonFedHatch

an ITR front end would look good on a 77' gremlin....somebody do something different for a change----i say go for the conversion if you want to

anyone else? id like to hear from someone who has done it

Pengo

i only like most of those conversions cuz they look pretty clean and everything lines up nice, but the headlights and front lines of the del sol are unique so keep it that way. i might turn to look at it on the street but it wouldn't be something i'd fork out cash to get done. unless ur a hardcore carshow goer, what's the point. and if you need to see a pic or have a pic, well then obviously it's been done already. just my .02. spend more money under the hood, not redoing one thats perfectly fine.

i kno i kinda went off topic on ur post man. my bad. just expressing my opinion. no offense intended. if you want me to delete this post just lemme kno. peace
