youll need more then that.
core support, bumper brace are the big ones
keep in mind core suport is welded in

Last time i saw something like this was 7 years ago when "fast and the furious ext...'' show imports where the thing... No so quite any more, but you will need core support and other things too. Creative, but it's your call


keep your car the way it is, trust me in the long run it will keep its top value if kept in good condition, thats if you ever sell it. Also how about a Ferio front End??? ill cost less way lessssss


go for it if you want

You'll need to much more than just that. It's your car but please don't do it, it's an insult to all Hondas when ricers do this. Just keep it OEM and lip/thread. Good luck either way.

I figure you're probably talking about an Integra, but how can we know what car you want it off of until you tell us what car you want it off of?

There are lots of threads on conversions though. It is not bolt on. You will need to cut the metal frame (core support) off the front of your car and weld a new one on.

You will also need to cut the fenders in half and weld them together.

This conversion is a huge pain in the ***.

My friend has this conversion on his 94 hatch. He used a 99 usdm integra front end.
(imo the jdm integra type r front looks better on an eg) assuming you are talkin about an eg to integra conversion.

you don't need to "CUT" off your radiator support. But you do have to drill out the spot welds that hold it together (seen a lot of people cut the wrong stuff) once all the welds are drilled out it will come off with a little pull some times it even falls off so watch your feet.

YES you CAN bolt the new radiator support on. But it would be better to get it welded. I had a car like that the welds broke and i didn't have money to get it welded back so as a temporary fix I used bolts to secure the support untill I could get it welded and it held up extremly well.

The only parts that you can't just bolt up are the fenders. With the fenders you have to use a combination of the integra and civic fenders.You have to cut the fenders and weld the front of the integra fender (to line up with the bumper) to the rear of the civic fender (to line up with the door) the cut is not exactly in the middle so you have to look at it and line it up.


The parts used for the conversion are:

radiator support

bumper support

hood

bumper

fenders from both cars

headlights

corner lights/turn signals

and I am not sure on this part but I believe you need the headlight wiring also, but not 100%. you should get it anyways ( just the part that plugs to the lights)

just make sure you get all the parts from the same year and preferably off the same car.

There is a write up on here that a guy explains how to do a jdm integra conversion on a usdm integra using only bolts and zip ties. All of the steps are the same the only thing that is not covered is the cutting and welding of the fenders since it is integra to jdm integra.

should have just bought an integra then. seems like far too much work to me atleast but hey if you want it try it. probably gonna be a lot harder to sell in the future, not many people like integra front ends on civics.

^ above post seems to have pretty much everything you need to convert. and dont just bolt your radiator support on, definitely not safe.

rUMpLed4SkiN

yea that bolt on was just a temporary thing, like a week or two just to hold the front together till I could get to my friend body shop I did the 99 conversion just cuz i had all the extra parts laying around and bought my 94 coupe for 600 with a smashed front end.....would change to eg front in a heart beat if i had the money for parts

Bender C/F

How about that fiero front end?

soclean1k_JDM

If anything I think ferio would be a down grade same thing just an uglier bumper. One of my neighbors had an integra conversion on his hatch looked clean and used one of the inner lights for ram air intake setup. To each is own. I have to agree with the saying if you want an integra front end you should have bought an integra. But its your car your choice.

arrocha87

theres a crx with the integra front end in the dallas craigslist. it looks ok just too long of a front clip. i dont like the integra conversions on a civic either, but hey too each his own.

Bender C/F

ok so the consensus says...dont bother...

NOFX

There are still plenty of things you can do with the front end besides conversions.

here's another question.... what about a DEL Sol front end? What would be involved in that?>???

Bender C/F

very nice

jimmy o.

best thing would be to look around see what you like if your going to do a conversion dont half a$$ it if you do it will look like $hiT
but if it where me id leave it alone you already have the best looking civic front end (IMO) can look damn good given the right "touch"

dj theoretic

yup hes right.... please dont do a front end INTEGRA its not cool. its wierd in the honda scene,,,,,, other than intagra jdm front ends on U.S integras. THATS COOL because its something that honda came up with for a reason.
