Body shops won't even want to do it... it is too much work.....
..try to convert your headlights instead... that should be less work!!!

as already stated to put parts from a 90s honda on your car you will need extensive body working skills, and be able to cut, weld, tweak nad fabricate ways to make it all work.

issues like this are not "honda" ones, they are ones that are general to just about any car.....
