it doesnt look bad, its just alot of work that you have to do to get it to look right.. dont just start drilling and cutting before you have a plan

dude its not that hard. ive done it on my delsol and my 94 coupe. you need
2000 core support
lights
fenders
hood
grill
bumper
from there you put the core support and line everything up with your lights thats the key. you will have to grind a little bit of the fenders to trim them down toward the door. then its just making every thing line up and bolting it down. and in my opinion its worth it. dont listen to these **** on here there just not capable of doing it.

You're about half a n00b if you'd go through all that work just to fit that front end on. The body lines don't really flow well.

if you do decide to do it, look at as many pictures of it as you can from different angles.. just so you know what you're getting into. EK Front End actually looks hilarious, almost like its too big or exaggerated on an EG.

well i know a guy with an itr front end on his h22 hatch and the problem is. is finding a hood because he has a cf on for the itr front but not made for the eg half fenders so the hood sticks up in the middle a good 2-3in.
