I don't know if it is the same or not to do it on a del sol...but my guess is you will have to cut part of the delsol fender by the door, so you can get that body line and mate it with the ek fender. You would also need the ek radiator support.

I agree with "johnecon2001." Also the front end of a 95-97 civic is different from a 98-00

I don't really know about the project but if this guy wants it done, let him do it. He's putting the money/man hours into it so just help him out here. I think it might be interesting to see. Anyone ever see the ferrari back end conversion on a del sol?

and to the orginal poster

to do this you need to decide what front end you like. 96-98 or 99-00

Youll need the radiator support, headlights, hood fenders front bumper

then you need to both sets of fenders in half, and weld them together.

Keeping the rear section from the del sol and using the frton section from what ever front end you go with

imo the eg front end looks the best on a sol

i can get all the parts pretty cheap.. i can have all the raidator support hood fenders bumper for under a 1000 and i know a guy that will put it all in for me for pretty cheap also.. im just kinda worried about the whole cuting the fender in half thing..

how difficult do u think that will be?

buy the rest of the car, not just the front end. then give the sol to someone who appreciates it how it was meant to be.
