Default 99-00 Civic front end conversion???

Ok, here's a pic of what I'm thinking about doing, but was wondering any info on how to do it and how difficult it would be to do. I kinda wanna do something crazy to the CRX and this seems like something different and would just like to know if this is a popular conversion.



I've heard that the fenders need to be customized, but is the rest a basic bolt on affair? Will I have to fabricate brakets or just do some redrilling??? I'd eventually wanna replace the fenders w/ some metal Z3 fenders (or fiberglass depending on the amought that the fenders need to be customized), a "Monster carbon fiber hood, halo head lights, and a custom front end of some sort (BoMeX or C-West), but I just wanted to know how easy this is to do before I go and buy a whole '99 Civic front end...

is that photoshopped? anyways, since most people on this board dont help with extreme cosmetic customizing, I will give you my two cents. YOu definatly need to modify the fender,s because the 99-00 civic front end is wider. Same problem people have when they do the integra front end. it has to be smoothed in. You can do the whole civic front end witht he food and all, which is where this is a problem. However, places like team protype and the such have used the crx front end parts, but cutting and cutting and welding will be needed. have fun, i like the different look.

I've seen a pic of one that was taken right after the work was done and they had cut the CRX fenders off near the front and welded the 99 fender portion in it's place. I don't really like the look but to each his own. Good luck

Looks photochopped to me.
