dont do it! they are hideous on civics. But if you must know.....

its just like putting a jdm type r front end on an integra.
weld up the integra radiator support and start lining up all your body panels.

alot of work though, and if you dont have any cutting/welding experience have someone else do it, but it will get expensive. good luck

You'll have to get all the front end parts from an Integra:
- Hood
- Front Bumper
- Core Support
- Headlights
- Fenders

Then remove all of the same from yours.

Remove the core support by cutting the welds out and removing the bolts. Weld/bolt the new core support on.

Mount the hood (must be adjusted), headlights and bumper.

Take your fenders and the Integra fenders and cut them from the top to the bottom somewhere in the middle.

Weld them together in such a fashion that the fenders look clean and fit on the car (with the other parts all installed).

You'll probably have to drill holes for the fenders to mount to also.

I would have to agree that it's a poor idea though. Especially if you ever need to replace the fenders.
