Default 1991 Civic FRONT END CONVERSION!!

Hi all... I have a 1991 civic DX hatch. Here's the list of goodies so far:
b16a 92-93 Integra (XSi) W/LSD
Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo kit
Integra rear disc brakes
15x7's plus 2-aluminum 14X6.5 w/toyo drag radials
Strut, tie and c-pillar bars
A combination of code alarm and viper security system
Everything else is pretty stock the thing looks like a piece of poo right now, but man its gonna fly once the engine is in (1 week)

Well, here's me question: I wanted to know if it is possible to just buy 92 integra fenders, hood, bumper and headlights and convert the front end to look like an integra????? Will this be as easy as bolting the new fenders/hood... onto the car or am i going to have to find an old integra with rear end damage and basically swap the front end? I know im gonna need some brakets and such but what do you guys think????? ever seen it done before???? i think it will look sick if i can pull it off!

Yo foolio..

There are a dozen posts on doing front end conversions every week. All you have to do is search. Which, if you ask me, will be a lot easier on your soon to be bruised ego as 95% of the members that use the EF forum are very into stock front ends.

If you do decide to do it, good luck

on older car with a newer engine... u see no good coming from that? plus it is 10 more hp... u could even do the type r swap. I wouldnt personally, but it gives you some nice freedom to do what u want.
