I believe you weld the rear section of your 5th gen fenders to the front of the 6th gen fenders and then weld and bolt on everything else. Do a search and you'll get most of the answers you need.

You need a rad support from a 99-00 civic as well, the reason is basically the 99-00 headlights/grille/hood latch needs clearance which your 92-95 rad support cannot provide. So get that rad support too, but other then that you have everything. The hood should bolt on fine with your 92-95 hood hindges. You wont use the entire 99-00 fenders though, you will only use the front portion (headlight cut out/ bumper mounting part) which means you would have to have it cut off and welded to your 92-95 civic fenders. This job requires some bodywork ofcoruse like puddy/bondo. This job can be done in 1 day if taken to the right shop. Good luck it can be done

Its a little expencive, but looks nice. Have you guys seen the 94-01 teg fronts on a eg? I seen quite a few over here in NYC, also looks nice in its own way.

i never knew you can purchase a used ek with a certain amount of "work". You can basically do the whole conversion your self, except for the cutting and welding of both fenders. Take everything off of your eg core-support and grind or drill out the welds so that you can take the core support off. Then weld or bolt back the ek core support and put everything back on. Just bring your fenders to a shop and tell them you need the fenders done and that should basically be it.
