Default 90 civic body remodeling

Ok, now I'm sure this has been disputed over time and time again but i have to bring it up again, sorry. I have a 1990 civic hatchback that i am starting to remodel, hoever i am not really fond of the squared body lines on the front end of the car. I doesn't seem to match up with the rest of the car and i am wanting to go with something that has more rounded, cleaner lines to it. I was wanting to know if the hood, front and rear bumpers, and fenders from the 92-95 civic hatch could be used for this?

FACT: you car IS square.

just trade your car to somebody with an EG.

Yes EG front ends can be put on EF's, i'm not sure on the details.
do a search you should be able to come up with pictures at least

oh and dont do it

yup. i agree. square is square buddy! there's a big transition from the EF to the EG looks wise. just stare at it for about an hour and im sure you'd start to appreciate it. oh and go look at peoples buildups of a bunch of EFs and your mind will start to change.

If you want the front end of a 92-95, go freaking buy one. Seriously. Why would a more curved front end look good on a car that is still square? WTF is the point?

What's the point of just going out and buying one? It defeats the purpose of customizing a car. Beside Sean Juan why are you getting so bent out of shape over what I want to do to my car? It's not your car I will be doing the work on so if you have advise on this type of customizing then I'll take it, but if you just want to get pissy about things then don't wast my time posting.

Most EF guys agree with the fact that the EG front looks like total A$$ on an EF, and the best route for having that front end is to have the whole car.
But hey if it floats your boat.

BTW have you found any pics of what it looks like yet? you need to see what it looks like if you havent already.

I finally found a pic of it and your right it does look like a$$. I do like how the SiR looks on it. Was just hoping to do something unique to it that looked good but guess thats not happening.
