Default Buying a front clip for a 95 EJ1? b16a/b18c

I have a 95 EJ1 with some front end damage and was weighing out my options in terms of fixing the front end and swapping out a motor. I was thinking of buying either a 92-95 front clip w/ a b16 or a 94-95 front clip w/ a b18c. For those of you who have purchased these clips, did you find it cheaper than a traditional swap due to the fact you can sell all unnecessary body parts and interior parts and make money back? I know the 92-95 EG would give me the body parts i need to fix my car, but im wondering if i purchased the DC clip if i could make enough money back off selling the parts to purchase the parts i need? Any help/advice would be appreciated.

i dont think you should do the DC conversion...and if you get an EG front clip, sometimes the fenders/hood/bumper might have some dents...not always do you get a clean clip...but yea, you can def get some money back...but in the end, it'll all go away after buying some more parts...

Thats what i was thinking. I need to take my car to a body shop to get it painted and to have the rad. support fixed, so i could have them fix any unwanted dents in the fenders and the bumper. I could aslo use the clock,climate control, and the cluster(i need a new cluster also). Also having the AC attached would help me out since i removed it like an idiot after putting in the b18c. Just figured it would be cheaper in the long run instead of paying for a b18c swap(3500) and then trying to fix the body parts. Now i just need to do some research on where to get a good clip. Thank you for the advice B18CivicEg

theres a clip...you can always call them by phone and have them send over a clip and ask for a black dash if you plan on doing the RHD conversion....if not, then it'll make it alot easier to sell the RHD since its a black dash... they have good reputation..


Edit*
just noticed it doesnt come with the motor...just hit them up
