Default Front end conversion

I have a 1989 CrX HF and I extremely dislike my front end. So the most reasonable thing to do is a conversion right? What do you guys suggest? Pics to go with? Doesn't necessarily have to be Honda or Acura.

verry clever, I see what you did, that's so fresh and new! I saw my grand-father do something like that before but it wasn't nearly so fresh and relavent!

All I could find was hatches with DA Integra front end conversions.

And for good measure, a CRX with a '94-'00 Integra front end.

None of those line up very well if you look really closely. I wouldn't do it to a CRX, but to each their own.

For the cost of those ^ front end conversions you could've pieced together a SiR front.

I'm not sure if that's an EG or a CRX on the left but I do know that they somehow slapped a S14 Kouki frontend on it.

Also, that's not a Skyline next to it. That's an Integra that's be done up to look like A skyline.

Yeah, I'd say they're more like 1/3 bad.

Unfortunately it still ruins the car imo.

It's really too bad too. Even though I don't own any of them, I see the '88-'91 Civic hatch, '88-'91 CRX and the '90-'93 Integra all as attractive models, just not when mixed up like this.

The S14 front end on the EG looks pretty mean. And yeah, that's definitely an EG, not a CRX.
