I don't believe the moldings by the doors will line up properly, and even if they did, it wouldn't look right, if you ask me. RSX's are more "blunt-nosed" and putting that on an EM2 where it's more "sleek-nosed" would make the car appear awkward.

The only Honda front clip swap that I've seen done, that looked alright was a Del Sol front clip, on an EG hatchback. It followed the lines nicely.

ive seen it done once, it was on 7thgen. it was done cleanly, but looked ugly. the RSX front end on the CRX looked better.

I saw a few on 7thgen, it was a whole post about it, it was the first half of the gen, with the dips for the headlights, i didnt like it, maybe the ones with the regular looking headlights might be ok.
