i've seen a lot of eg hatches with 96up front ends, does anyone know what it takes to do this the right way. i was told just the fenders bumper hood lights and the fenders have to be cut a little to mount and the radiator bracket has to be cut. can anyone elaborate on what exactly i need to do it. thanks

lol... are you a comedian?

someone has to know of this conversion. B_Cruz evidently hasn't seen it before.

yea ive seen it done, but I have no idea what it involves.

B_CRUZ!

your wrong. i have seen it and it looks like *** to me. go to the appearance forum or clubsi or something.

thanks B_Cruz, but i asked for specifics on how to do it, not your opinion on it.

i dont think it flows well. eg lines and ek lines are so different. only thing ive seen that even comes close to actually matching is EG's with usdm or jdm integ fronts. at least its sorta passable, but then again, the eg lines r a flawless classic anyway, why ruin them.

hondachad2

i appreciate your input JaeOne3345. I respect your opinion.

B_CRUZ!

i gave you my opinion. i also gave you ideas on where to check if somebody else ruined a 5th gen front end.

JaeOne3345

cool, thats all im offering. im suprised u didnt get butthurt. itsfunny when people behind keyboards actually get butthurt over **** said from someone like 8000 miles away.

but anyway, i personally* do not like conversions unless its like a R front on a integ or something, but i say if u want some other honda conversion, pick something from DC integra,

just ananlyze ek and eg lines. way off, dc and eg flow.

poop

do you know what it takes to get jdm itr front end put on my eg? It is complete custom from a shop right? I heard somewhere that the frames are the same.

here are some links in case you are having a hard time finding the appearance forum.

first you have to cut your eg fender about halfway at a somewhat 45 degree angle...then you take the ek fender and cut that in the same way you did the eg so that the lines match up...do this to both sides and bolt on your radiator support and...uhhh, i guess just bolt everything on and get the ek core support or watever then itll be gravy.....just know that the specifics of the conversion relies on how you cut the eg and ek fenders....or something like that.....hope this gives you some type of idea....

EK is about 2-3" wider than a EG, so expect to cut down some parts. Mainly your hood.

Waste of $$$ if you ask me. I've seen a number of them, and they all look like ***.
