Hey all, if any of you have close up pics of the grille/hood/bumper/headlight area where they all come together, I could really use them to see how things are turning out for my front end conversion on my 96...

you can post them here or email them to me at pkruse@mines.edu

thanks a ton!

 

use search it is your friend.....

 

go out and take a look at any 99-00 civic. or search google.

 

the gaps should really be minimal.. no more than 1/4"

 

thanks zoops! youre definitely a friend...

to the rest of you, i googled and searched HT for a couple hours, didnt see anything

 

how in the world does that hood match up so good with the grill and bumper, its seriously impossible for me

 

no kidding, i can't get that ofr the life of me... heh but most likely its because i have BKNW CF hood, and OEM replica bumper and fenders cost me 50 bucks for fenders and bumper.

that's why... aftermarket fenders plus CF hood will not yield OEM specs..

I did 99/00 conversion with aftermarket front bumper... did not fit very well... put on an OEM front bumper and everything's like butter baby

word.. your conversion looks excellent and proves your point exactly. if the conversion looks like ****, you've wasted all of your time and money... no matter how cheap your replica parts were.

thanks man Can't stress enough about using OEM parts. Espeacially with front end conversions

 

yep guys, and if i cared about looks i would say the same thing. this is essentially a race car... but i definitely wasnt expecting perfection... heh.
