i dont know, but the bubbly front end of the 96 would look funny on a square car like the crx. i just dont see it looking good. now an eg front end.....maybe, but still probably too rounded

I have seen a could of EG hatches around with that later model integra front ends. REALLY UGLY in my opinion. The integra front end is a little on the long side so it makes the car look like it has a really long snout. Plus it just doesn't fit.

If I were you I would leave it alone. I love the look of a CRX/Civic front end. Please don't ruin it.

Would you like that to be fried rice or steamed rice?

did i ever say i was going to rice it out?

were talking a stock front end here guys..

but thanks for telling me if it really could be done or not and just giving opinions. this is honda-tech not opinion-tech.

when i do the conversion and it looks sweet and not ricey i will post some pics..

im sorry but rounded headlights look way better than square 80's ones in my OPINION, but im not saying im neither right or wrong...

all i wanted was a light crx with a newer look, and maybe a car that you didnt see every day.

i think the main thing that keeps these conversions from looking good is the size of the wheel well on the front vs rear

usually the front well looks massive & expanded compared to the rear wheel well opening.....and it ruins the car, makes it look like the hacked experiment that it is.

the 2 examples in this thread don't appear as bad as i've seen.....

if someone could correct that small problem, i think it would make a world of difference, visually

I have a 1 piece interga clip on my turbo dohc zc and I havent heard 1 negative thing about it yet, with the foberglass front I was able to shorten it and cut to fit the doors. I will post pics after initiation to honda tech. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to look different then all the others you see every day.

You could use the stock front end! That would help!

I'm so smart I scare myself.

That's money that could be much better spent on making you faster. Or prostitutes.
