Default READY TO PAINT MY ACCORD EG

Yes you heard right. You guys might remember the INTEGAREX?? The CRX I built with the Integra front end. Well, Ive done it again, this time I put a 2000 Accord front end on my 94 EG. Heres a small list of details; Of course a 94 EG, power windows, clean title, 2000 Accord front clip. The radiator support was drilled out in favor of a tube/stock frame horn setup. I did not take pics of the engine bay cause its not quite done, but I bent and welded 1'' square beams to reinforce the whole shebang. I know it was a more complicated manner, but now the whole bay is more rigged for the deuce deuce swap. H23 built bottom with H22A head and SKUNK cams. I am fabricating an ITB setup ( homemadeturbo.com)
and an LSD M2B4 tranny. Shes maybe halfway done, but I was stoked about sharing her. The RSX interior was alot easier to install than expected and really sets it apart. I dont expect you all to dig it, but negative and positive alike is appreciated. Keep it cool though, there may be some young H-Ters following your examples. On with the pics
Please note that it looks like the front end doesnt line up, spaces under the headlights and hood. I dont have it all bolted together so thats why it looks crappy. As a matter o fact, the fenders and bumper are all one piece. The hood doesnt have the rubber stops so it goes all the way down.

Do a little more for the fitment please. But nevermind, you said it wasn't finished yet, huh? I say get the 3 grill OEM bumper and call it a day for the thing though...Could look good.

painting the interior also?

looks like you got an interior to do, and paint(white to get rid of that teal, and trade that tan for a black interior.

more fitment to do near the headlights and fenders, alot of ssanding to do and a new grill and bumper to fit in..............either taht or go back to stock

That kept my attention.

Like I said though, keep with the OEM bumpers, since you want the front end to be recognizable as the Accord front (seriously), and work really hard on getting those lines to fit nice and clean, and it could actually work out pretty well.

Try the EH2 with the S13 siliva front end and Is300 tail-lights.

aren't we supposed to learn from our mistakes? I'm glad i get to be the first person (so far of course) to tell you that looks god-awful. sorry just my .02 i can appreciate the effort and enthusiasm into making something unique, just not my cup of tea.

the thing to be sorry about is all the hacked *** front end conversions all over the place that give people like us "JDM ******" that like clean functionality a bad name just because we both wear an "H" on our trunk lids (or hatches, or both in my case)
