Default Modifying my sons 96 hk front clip

Ok so my son just got a 96 hk and he wants to do a front end swap with a 92 to 94 civic so he has the more squared off front end with the rectangular headlights. I was told to come here and ask what would need to be done to make that a reality for him? The picture below is for reference this is what he wanted done

Yeah. These front end swaps never end up looking correct no matter how well done they are. Maybe your son would be into an Acura EL/ Honda Domani front end? The decklid is cool too.

A decent wrench set, sawzall and a drill.. Yeah you can do it. Take hood, fenders, bumper cover, lights off. Put on replacement stuff, argue/fight cuss at new stufff because it wont line up. Then be mad as heck WHEN he scrapes the lip on a parking berm
Why re-invent the wheel
