Default rsx front end conversion

Hi I am new to honda tech and noticed that this site is a good place to get opinons on things and a great place for information. I am thinking of converting the front of my 94 integra ls to a rsx front end. I want to know what people think about this and if i should even spend the money on it. I mostly want to do something different since everyone is doing type-r fronts and such. Thanks in advance for your opinons.

I always had imaginations about that. I always liked the rear of the integ but i also really liked the 02 rsx front. Now to combine those, that's difficult. Cool project, no?

But if it were to cost more than a jdm front (which i'm sure it would) then i'd just get the jdm front.

I've seen this conversion and it doesnt look so good. The RSX headlights and front end in general look too big for the Integra.

I agree that different is a good thing, but not at the expense of being tacky.

Go for it, don't let people's opinion change your mind.

But it'd probably be pricey, and I don't know get someone to photoshop something and decide then.

If that's what you want go for it. I've just seen too many front end "conversions" go wrong, mixing bodystyles rarely work IMO. Personally it's a trend I wish would stay in the late 90's =p

well i totaled my rsx earlier this year so i have owned an rsx. I would love to get another one but I would rather do something different with my teg instead of getting a rsx. I was looking at using the civic kit unless the stock rsx fenders will fit. anyone in cali have an rsx they want to loan me for parts.
