Hey guys, i am thinkin about doing a 1998 front end conversion on my 1992 EG HB, i know i am going to need the following :
Hood
fenders
bumper cover
headlights(going with HID's)
and the wiring for the headlights(unless i can find some headlights that come with the wiring harness)

If anyone has done this conversion, can you help me out with what all i will need to finish my swap? thanks

stockcivic103

What kinda modification are we talkin about?

You forgot radiator support. And also i think your going to need to cut the fenders in half and weld them together. Not 100% sure on that one.

grill and rad support, and you have to cut your old fenders and weld them with your new ones from the 98

i have a EG Coupe W/2000 Si Front End

stockcivic103

BUMP!

x_outlaw_x

your going to need all the parts you listed plus a radiator support


then you have to cut your new and old fenders in half and weld the back piece of your stock fenders to the new ek fenders

i am doing the conversion to my hatch too......it SUCKS!!!! takes alot of time and $ but it will be worth it....i will try to get pics on.

HATCHingMN

Just make sure you know thet after the conversion your EG is no longer an EG


I would suggest the 99-00 frontend instead of the uglier 96-98

hey guys whats goin on i see that your doing the front conversion i have the same thing on my 95 cx hatch heres some pics...still rough and not complete







goin pretty good still need a little mods

stockcivic103

thats pretty bad *** lookin, i like the look of that..... cuz i love the 98 body style....... what all did you hafta buy/modify to get it to fit.... and how much do you have in parts?

d16y8delsol

i had to cut the fenders, use the rad support from a 98 ek hatch...i also had to fit the lights and get the harness for the lights...i used hood pins instead of using the latch (use the latch if you can) better than hood pins for sure...but in all ive spent about ehh 500 for the hood, bumper, fenders, bumper support, rad support, and another 150 for the lights...and i got the headlight harness from the junkyard they wanted 50 for the harness i got it free lol...but its still not done i gotta line up everything and get it right...but its badass lookin im just not liking it so much anymore kinda looks like an alien bubble now and what would ya call it anway "the egek" ha

I think that looks like crap. Don't waste your time and effort.

stockcivic103

thats your opinion homie... i personally like the looks of the 98's aposed to basically any model

d16y8delsol

hey ya know what you think it looks like crap but guess what....its different from any other ****** eg out there

stockcivic103

Just so you aint yellin at me. i love the look of it.... that guys just a tardo lol i wanna do that to mine sooner or later

d16y8delsol

i tend to not listen to people like HIM, just b/c you think its stupid thats a matter of your own opinion...i happen to think its different from any other car on the road and if you dont like it all i have to say is dont leave a reply to it move on and bug someone else

stockcivic103

if anyone has some parts for a 1998 EK forsale, i MAY be interested.. cuz i like the look of this. but would like some more pictures of your rides.... to see the various options

d16y8delsol

headlights were just set in place to take the pictures they fit a whole lot better than that on the car

no, cut both pairs of fenders in half and weld (or tape) the stock eg half with the ek front half. just a rough sketch. dont feel like going into detail sorry

stockcivic103

so its basically cuttin the front(where the light lines up) on each, and takin the front from the 98 and puttin it on the 92 rear section of fender?
