it's been done
idk what all it requires doing though. I know you'll need headlights, fenders, bumper, and hood... but i'm not sure about what you do to get bolt holes and such to line up.

I'd have to say out of all of those, if you were gonna put a front end on your Del Sol, i'd go for an EK on it. IMO it looks the cleanest if done correctly.

if you're set on doing it, I'm x3 on the EK, but the EG looks really nice too, especially with just the SI lip. I'd do some oem fogs on it too.

+1 for the EG front. the EK might look good if done right but from the example givien I like the EG better. I've seen an integ one at my old shop it looks to long in the front like the car would plow every where from being outta balance

Or you can leave it the way it is =p... But i know you need to cut the fenders in half and then weld them together..

yes everything fits well. I am doing an eg conversion on my sol as we speak. I work for a honda dealership so it is all being done professionally. The problem you will run into is the hood. The del sol hood hinges are different from the eg hinges. First we put the del sol hinges on the eg hood and the hood sits to far to the right so that didnt work, then we put the eg hinges on and because of the way they are designed the hood sits up to high in the back and doesnt bolt to the top of the firewall correctly, so now we are looking at taking the base of the del sol hinge and using the top half of the eg hinge to see it it will work. Will keep you updated.

Don't ruin a perfectly good del sol front. It's hard enough to find parts for the car.

Default Re: can a eg front end fit a del sol

well I would have left my frotn end as a sel sol front end but it got smashe dup and my parts were all given to me where as the del sol parts were gonna cost ALOT since the rarity of the vehicle so to each person, do what you feel is best. I do like the sol front best but I also am ok with the eg front. I dont believethe ek or teg or any of the other fronts look as good as the eg, but thats my opinion which doesn't mean much. Now if anyone has an answer about the HOOD HINGES please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'd rather leave it stock. the eg and ek look is nice on the del sols, but it is a lot of work to convert them. the welding is pain in the ***. then comes the body work and making sure everything lines up.

yeah it takes alot of work but just about anything does. It's all in how much patients you have. I have learned that so far. For instance it took 2 weeks just to decide how we were going to solve our fender issues and hood hinges but we took the time because we wanted it done correctly.
