What EXACTLY are you trying to convert? If you ask specific questions you tend to get specific answers. Your question is about as vague as they get.

Did you try looking int eh FAQs at the top of the forum.

How are we making it difficult?

No cutting is needed, assuing you either don't use side markers, or buy the feders pre cut. If you don't, you will have to cut the fenders outs.

Everything else will bolt on.

In Canada the SIR is our SI.

As far as I know 96-98 is the only one to get moldings.

Deetz, lives in Canada. We have the Civic SI here, but in Canada that it is called a SIR. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

Meaning, that IS a SIR front end. Just becuase it is not a 1996-98 Civic SIR front end that came with moldings, doesn't mean it isn't a SIR.
