That front end only looks ok on EK sedans. However it looks like it fit pretty well.

But whatever floats your boat, I vote VSM for color

Honestly, the only thing that makes it look so funny how it sits is the height. Slam it, front lip, some wheels, then paint it VSM and call it a day.

Sorry for a noob question but what front end is that?

id say pick something rediculous for color. and props on the front end, i agree different is good. im lookin at a dc2 fornt end on my EG. regardles if my firends rip on it. how many civics have front end conversions any way. at least not in canada. and deffinatly dump it. as low as itll go. ditch the grill and put an oil cooler in its place, ive seen it done on a DC with the itr front end, it looks dirty.

straight swap, only have to lenthen the three wires going to the front lower turn signals, but run 2000.00 CDN at the dealer, unless you score one at a junk yard like i did, cost me $200.00 total
