can this be done? and if so can anyone tell me what I need to search for.
I dont mind spending the money over time, because i fell in love with it

Thanks

 

It can be done. It's a different front end. I believe you need a whole lot of the front end for it though.



- JDM front bumper assembly
- JDM front bumper filler
- JDM front fenders w/sidemarkers
- JDM radiator support; "T-BAR" section only
- JDM headlights & clear corner lights
- JDM clear wrap-around bumper lights
- JDM Metal SiR hood (used)

That link is totally over priced, in my opinion. But you need most of the front end to do that. I would just get a nice lip, have it installed, and color match the bumper/filler piece to the rest of the car. Take some black paint to the trim pieces and it would look fine.

 

+ 2 but if you have some extra $ on the side to for it .

 

That front end swap is very nice, and oem as well from oversea's. You don't need the fenders for the swap, they are identical to our, just with added sidemarkers

 

The front end swap adds ZERO performance, ZERO HP and nothing. I have seen cars with these swaps that the car was never painted to match so the front end is wrong color/
looks dorky to me.
waste of money.
waste of time
waste of everthing. make your car look factory fresh .
The one you are buying has Whorish side skirts, are they paying you to buy it that way.

 

That's your opinion.

Just FYI, the car your looking at already has a front end conversion. Someone has put a CRX front onto that Civic hatch.

I recently just converted my sedan to the front end that Freemaanaa posted:



IMO i like the way it makes the car look. I'd say go for it.

 

Negative! The swap adds plenty for looks! Sure, it adds nothing performance wise, but for style, it's right up there.

There are plenty of people who have installed that front end and matched up the car nicely. For those who haven't it has "nothing" to do with others getting the swap.

As far as people spending money for nothing, I could say the same about rear disk brake swaps, but people still do them
