Everything, you may even need to cut the fenders in half and weld the halfs from the del sol to the civic fender
Lot more work then its worth

yea definitely a lot of work, and not worth it for the ek front. however, the eg front does look pretty good. probably the only front end conversion that looks like it could have been that way originally.

you need everything from the front end you plan to use. if i remember right, the eg front bumper actually has to be cut and shortened (width wise). youll need both your del sol fenders and the eg ones... youll kind of make the two one, roughly joining them at where the middle of the wheel meets the fender. the real question is why? del sols look pretty good.

i personally don't like the look of the EK conversion on the del sol, but i'd have to agree with everyone else. this one with the eg front clip looks damn near factory. the lines are perfect. kudos to whoever did it.

So, so many threads on this already. I've basically dumped all the photos I have of converted del Sols several times by now.

Is one of those threads stickied yet?

You would think!

I just pulled the most recent thread I'd seen on the subject and posted it. I'm sure there are some better ones but I'm tired of looking for them.
