You want different front end on a ek???? Get a legend front end. ,ive seen it done.
also, the eg body have a similar contour as the integra dc2 where the front is not as fat as an ek. so it would definately be off, dont qoute me on that but it most likely need some fab work to have that front end on a ek to mesh right.

Yes it could be done, Yes it will look like ***.

^^ Seriously, lets spend a large chunk of money to make our car look like complete *** in attempts to try and be different (but we really arent different because someone has done it before). Its like the idiot i saw at the races a few years ago that had a monte carlo with a 325 front end. Talk about a waste of money. By the time you buy the front clip, have the body shop cut/weld everything and have them paint it you are looking at what, 2-3k?

I'm fine with same chassis front end swaps, the EL was the same chassis as a civic. So were the difference in the 99-00 front ends.
Jdm integras came with that alternate front end, so they look great with it. I personally don't like the USDM front end integras.

theres a guy at my school who's got an eg hatch in electron blue pearl (99-00 si color) and he's got the jdm itr front end on it and it doesn't look like **** at all.
its extremely clean i wish i could take a picture to show you guys.
then again it wasn't half-assed so that might be the reason why it looks good.
