Cars were designed to have the front end they do from the factory,why change it for something that will probably look worse and not fit as well??

OP, while it might look nice, think about what happens if you do need to replace a part. You'd be stressed enough with the theft or accident that occurred, but now you have to buy two sets of fenders, cut them in half and make it work again.

Yes its been done before..if you really wanna be unique then go measure stuff,get a eg front end and go to town,then you'll have the experience of figuring something out for yourself.
IMO though you should stay in school and learn how to spell before you try swapping front ends..

One person said it might not look as good as stock.

No one said it would look bad.

Most of us have seen the photos of this conversion done a million times before since this thread shows up at least once every month or two (sometimes much, much more often).

I said that replacing said parts in the future would be a huge pain in the ***.

There is no specific "how-to" for doing a front end conversion. Front end conversions are a pain in the *** and largely custom.

You will need to buy the following to put a 5th gen Civic (coupe/hatch) front end on a del Sol:
- '92-'95 Civic coupe/hatch core support
- '92-'95 Civic coupe/hatch front bumper
- '92-'95 Civic coupe/hatch hood
- '92-'95 Civic coupe/hatch fenders
- '92-'95 Civic coupe/hatch headlights and turn signals

The headlight bulbs should be the same for both vehicles, but I'm not sure about the turn signals. So you might have to wire in new sockets.

Take your del Sol fenders and your Civic fenders. Cut them both in half from the top to the bottom.

You're going to have to figure this out on your own or better yet, get a professional who can do this and warranty his work. I can't tell you where to cut the fenders exactly.

The fenders will have to be welded together and then smoothed out to look clean.

Remove everything from your stock core support. This includes the radiator and any a/c parts, the hood cable, the latch and any little brackets or other parts on the core support.

Cut the welds on the stock core support and unbolt it. Remove the stock core support.

Now line the new one up. The bolts might not work. You might have to drill if you want to bolt it on. Then spot weld the new one onto the car.

Then you have to figure out how to mount the fenders. I don't know if all the mount holes on the fender will match up to your car.

Put the hood on. You might want to use del Sol or Civic hinges. I'm not sure which will work best for your situation. You'll have to make sure the core support's hole for the latch lines up with the latch hook on the hood.

Then the bumper (not sure how well this will fit either) and the headlights and corners (ditto).

Everything will take some time to match up to not have nasty gaps.
