Re: civic question.
PasswordJDM only carries OE or OE knockoff parts, they don't carry fabricated parts like that. You need to weld the 2 different fenders together, so you'll need to know how to weld or pay someone to do it. Other than that, it depends on how much you get the parts for, and whether you do it yourself or have someone else do it for you.

Re: civic question.
There was no Type R for '92-'95 (5G) Civics. There was the '97-'00 Civic Type R and then there was the '97-'01 Integra Type R. I figure you mean one of those.
If you do, you will need the fenders fabricated at the very least. It's enough work that most people change their mind after figuring out what is involved.
You have to buy all the parts (hood, bumper, headlights, grille, fenders, core support). Remove your core support. Bolt in and weld in the new core support. Then you need to do lots of measuring and sometime in there you have to cut your current fenders in half and your brand new fenders in half. You'll likely have to drill new mounting holes, at least for the fenders. Depending on the front end, you might need to do a little wiring. Put it all together and get it all painted.
In my opinion neither of those front ends work on the small 5G Civic body. They just look strange.
