Given the amount of work and fabrication required for something like this, I don't think you'll find a how-to on this subject anywhere on this site. There have been plenty of threads but not a how to. Any reputable body shop should be able to do this.

i heard the only thing u need to do is cut the fenders. keep the half closer to ure door and weld on the ek front part. around my area theres a couple civics and a del sol that got this done. looks good in my opinion.go for it.

Ya, it looks like absolute ***. My guess is you'd need an EK radiator support as well.

Here are some pictures for you, unfortunately at this time the carddomain site with the how-to is down. Maybe try it again later.

Don't do it. It looks like ***, especially this drag car.

That red eg/ek is 10x better than the rest. My guess is because of the lighting and because it has aftermarket sideskirts - it completes the look. Whats weird is that I like everything about the ek looks except when looking at it from behind, and exact opposite for the eg. If the eg's roof didn't tapper down as much, it'd have a much better side profile.

Good idea if you want obd1, can't avoid emissions, but love the ek frontend. I wonder, would this be a good candidate for a GSR dash swap? Del Sol front seats, CTR rears? 5-lug conversion? H22 swap? You could represent almost every 92+ honda with it.

Well, then my guess is all the others look 10x worse because of their lighting. Come on.. whatever though, the guy will do whatever he wants because he can.

i did i post on this like over a year ago . there was a link cause they all flammed me like it should be in apperance.. But n-eway i dunno some cars look good and some look ugly with this conversion. I guess it depends what all you do besides the conversion.. the red eg/ek is hot but all the other ones theres a EBP eg/ek hatch rolling around here its been around for a while now.

Looks like what the other two are missing are aftermarket side-skirts. The O.E. ones are too skinny for the EK front.
The red one has flared out ones, that’s why it looks good.
