Default Civic front end onto an Integra? A little different...

I was thinking about front end swaps today... I used to have a 93 Civic Coupe with sweet one piece projectors. I have a 96 Integra now and wanted to do the JDM front end... but everyone's done it and I thought a Civic front end might look alright on a Teg. Silly idea? Can this be done (easily)?

radsupport is different.
also civic front end is shorter.
you will have to cut and join the fenders using the civic front and integra rears. the side aprons on the body needs to get cut and redone using civic aprons and the new rad has to get welded on in an angle to accomadate the new location of the hood latch and fender area.

imo unless you have 3500 for this conversion dont both wasting time as its costly and time consuming to do is properly

thanks for the feedback guys. i was just entertaining the idea... but it sounds like a lot work. i was under the impression that a lot of the parts would be bolt up.

but i did see the rad support as an issue. too bad though, might be a pretty bad *** look.

the rad sits up into the frame ( up by the hood) of the car more than the integra. it will work, the big part is the fenders. they have to be cut, and re- welded together. i'm doing a civ hatch with a integra front. so i'm seeing the diff with this.
