Default DelSol EK9 front

Hey guys just wonderin about these two pics below..

Wats involved exactly? Does the subframe need to be changed or anything?
I hear the fenders fit, but need to be mated? how does that work? is it an expensive precedure ?
Are the bonnets interchangable?
thanx guys!



btw i know this is probably a repost but i honestly couldn't find anything in the archives.

you will have to use half of the del Sol fender and the front half of the ek fender and weld them together. professional work is probably recommended to get maximum cosmetic quality

I like the way it looks now. Don't touch it man! Make the right choice! But it's your choice you car, that's just my opinion.

I do too...kinda supra-ish, agressive, but still has the mildness of the civic front end. Interesting...

i think it looks good because how the front bumper flows with it, it might look kinda weird with a stock front on it. But i do like it and it looks really nice

you will need...

96-98 or 99-00 (your choice) civic...
front bumper
left and right fenders
hood
radiator support
headlights

(96-98 and 99-00 front parts cannot mix together because they're different. must have parts within their years.)

cutting about six (i think) inches off of your sol fenders and the civic fenders, then welding them together is the best way.

you should have Searched this. its been covered many times.

Doesnt look that bad. Just be suer not to mix match years (99-00 and 96-98) and you will be good. I would talk to a body shop who does custom work for this one.

Wow that look actuall really nice. I think I like that better then the stock delsol front ends. I'm not a fan of either but together they flow really good.

well the maroon car is photochoped, if you look at the first pic it was done right and the ek fender was cut and welded you can tell how there is no crease like in the maroon one.
