Default civic/ 90 integra conversion question

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this question but I've been wanting to do a front end conversion on my ef hatch like the one shown. I was googling civic/ integra conversions and I found this pic. I think it would be pretty rad. I was wondering, has anyone on here ever done this to their own ef? This is NOT my car nor do I like the paint and the bumper but you get the idea. If anyone has info I'd appreciate it.

I dont think you will find much support for that here maybe in the apperance forum. I think it makes the front look waaay too long

I would not do that, it looks hideous (Even if it was painted all one color, and didn't have the ricer bumper).

I just threw up in my mouth a little. I did a 92-95 front end on an ef hatch back in the day... If you absolutely have to do this you'll need basically the whole front clip from a DA ie headlights, corner lights, hood, fenders, front bumper cover, radiator support, bumper lenses... Hood will bolt onto hinges, fenders have to be cut 50/50 approx aligning the tips with the front edges of the hood. Have to drill out all spot welds for radiator support and weld in the radiator support for a DA. Figuring out placement of the radiator support is done by bolting headlights to the radiator support and aligning the headlights to the hood and corner lights to the fenders before welding. Once the radiator support is welded in all the front end hardware will bolt on. Getting the radiator support in correct will get you a perfectly latching hood, properly aligned headlights, etc. But this a lot of work just to have your car look like the ambiguously gay duo mobile (huge long hood resembling an erection) on an otherwise compact car.

If you want to do a front end conversion, do a JDM EF SiR front end. thats my plan. integra front ends were ment for integras...personally, i wouldnt want to ruin a perfectly good EF with a DA conversion but thats me, do what u want. theres my 2 cents.

It could happen. Just 100% not like that. Ever. That car should be T-boned by a bus full of people with Aids.

It would be more convincing with a stock integra front end. Again, its NOT my car by the way, I just saw it online when searching.
