Default CRX to 92-95 front?

what would i need to change to convert to a 92-95 civic front-end? would the fenders, hood, lights and bumper fit?

I know you can weld the fenders to the stock fenders and fit the lights... i dont know about the hood and bumper.. Anyone?

Fenders should fit cause my buddy is running civic feders and civic corners.

Save your self the hectic get:

Wings west RS body kit
JDM front end conversion

everyone has the wings west front... i'm just going for something different and the stock 92-95 front looks more rounded and cleaner.

I don't understand the conversion thing, why can't you just buy a 92-92 Civic? That would look a lot better and be cheaper than doing a conversion.

Ive put the eg front bumper onto a 4thgen civic and crx...really different and nice...only thing is that you will have a slight gap between the bumper and headlight but can easily be bondo filled...didnt go as far as customizing the fenders but you can go for it...I like the way it looks just with the front bumper...good luck.

I saw a CRX in import tuner with just the 92-95 headlights. I dont think the newer front end would look right. The front end is too round for our boxy cars.

would the 92-95 civic hood fit on a 89 CRX Si? would the 92-95 fenders fit?

Anyone have a side shot of this car? In the conversions that I've seen the wheels are never centered in the wheel wells which makes the whole thing look funny.

he wants a rex for the weight savings, and he'll plaster it with
cheese and metal and filler to give it a different front end /?!!!

Nothing wront with a front end coversion... I'm planning on a 92-95 conversion on my rex as well. I'm doin it cuz my front end is crashed and I'm doin the coversion myself. If done right... it looks really nice from the pics I've seen.

oh ok so what your trying to do is put 2 cars together, its gonna look like a damn civic until people see the *** end anywayz so i guess you'll have to drive around backwards everywhere so people know what kinda car it is. I feel bad for the crx, it didn't ask for this . put the thing out of its misery there is no point in destroying a good car in my mind. if you gonna do a whole front end conversion just get a 92-95 civic, if you don't have a eg hatch just because of weight, get the lightest one they made.

I dont see it as destrying a car. how is this destroying a car? If changing the headlight style is destroying the car.. then would a 5 lug conversion be destroying tha car as well???
