i got a del sol with a 99-00 ek front conversion. What you need to do is figure out how far your del sol fender is going to go from the door forwards. Then once you figure that out, take that measurement and measure straight to the frame and make a mark. Then you should take the teg fender and put it on the as best as possible and make a mark on the teg fender, then leave about half an inch on each fender when you cut them incase you miss measured. cut them on the marks you made, mate them up and tack them together, then test fit it. Grind down the weld and make the proper changes and do it again, and again and again. For the test fitting i recomend cutting off like 1/4 of the back part of the fender so that you can fit it on the frame, then it'll be easier to get an exact measurement.

Well see my problem is that the delsol fenders r rounder then the integration one on the back but then the delsol fronts of the fenders don't line up with the hood... I'm not sure if I'm miss understanding u or not but usage cut as close to the door as possible or closer to the front bumper?

What if you got Del Sol fenders for the back half (closest to the doors), DC fenders for the front half (closest to the bumper), and welded them together in the middle? I'm not too keen in conversions, and I'm not even sure if the two fenders would be able to mold together correctly.. but it's a suggestion.

you have to choose a conversion where the fenders are similiar, and i was saying on the other post ^^ you should use 1/2 del sol fender on the back, 1/2 teg fender on the front, and with that hood, you might need to cut that in half and weld it up, mine is an ek front and it worked out pretty good with the lines, they were cut half way and welded together

Please tell me you put on the Teg core Support?

also looks like that bumper is up way to high.... like it's sitting back to far, maybe try tipping the bumper down that might bring up the edge of the bumper where they meet the fender and bring down the top where the hood won't close and latch. Possibly IF you put the core support on, it may have needed to be extended, only way to tell that is go to a stock teg, measure from the first fender bolt/hole nearest to the windshield and measure down to where the fender frame part ends and meets the core support. That might tell ya how far off you are. Just an after though

man, just cuz we don't like to look like everybody else doesn't mean we're "ufo's", just means we have some sort of creativity, taking a 94 civic, putting on coilovers, tinting the windows and puttin on rota's doesn't really jump out as creative to me. Just blends. I'm not hating cuz i love the look of a clean civic, but when your civic looks like your neighbors civic, who's looks like your aunts civic, who just then noticed her civic looked like yours, it gets dull.
when your staring at a black wall, we're the white dots scattered all over the place
