Default Civic w/ BMW Front Conversion

Just curious if anyone knows where I can view some pictures of a civic with a BMW Front Conversion done to it. A friend of mine was telling me about one he had seen and I was contemplating on doing it to mine but wanted to see one first. Any info would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

There's one in Delaware that shows up at local shows every once in awhile. It's a '96-'00 EX coupe with a BMW front and rear conversion on it. It's actually very nice and there were a number of people who seemed tricked by it when they first saw it.

Tried to find a pic of it before, but I never have been able to.

Btw, this is in the wrong section. This should be in Appearance / Cosmetic.

err this reminds me of 2 guys in my area who made their del-sol's LOOK like Z3's. BMW emblems all over. Z3 fenders... You get the idea. It looked like **** (only because they did a poor job at it.

If it is done right I think it looks pretty dope. As for pictures, I have seen a 1993 Accord 4 door with this conversion and it looked pretty sick. I just can't find the pictures.

Good Luck

^^ Yeah, its not my cup o' tea whatsoever but I have seen a civic with a BMW 3 series front end and a Monte Carlo rear. They did a clean job with both ends so it looked good, but like i said, not my cup o' tea. That money spent could have went in to so many other things to better enhance the look/performance of the car.

A great way to turn an economy car into a tacky piece of ****.
