I have a 95 civic coupe ex. I want to throw on a newer body style.. was thinking 00 or 99. How much body work needs to be done? I searched with no response

Thanks

 

Just the front end? I believe it involves some cutting and welding, bumper support, etc.. I know it's been covered in the past. Try the appearance forum when you can, too.

 

hmm...im not sure u need any cutting and welding, i think all u need is a radiater support bumper grill headlights fenders and headlight.

good luck with it, post pics when u r done

 

cut and weld!!!

 

You'll need to have half of your fender cut and welded to the new fender and than you need to put the new radiator support onto your car.

 

ok so sounds like just radiator support. i make one-piece cf front ends...s o ... im going to mold a 00 and put it on the nine-5 !! pwnd

 

you make cf frontends and your asking how to do a front end conversion...

Well you make a mold and mount it... it's not like you're doing a conversion you want to put a cf front end that LOOKS like a 99/00 front end...

It doesn't matter how the conversion is done you could make a single unit that just mounts to the 92-95's with the 99/00 front end. You don't need to mount the fenders or the bumper or the hood for that matter...

I'm really not understanding your question.

 

basically if under the hood there is a size difference. so i dont spend 600$ on cf and realize its not going to fit on my 95.

 

I say go for the JDM Integra front-end conversion. Looks hella clean when done properly. Looks and originality.

 

i dont think it would look good on 92-95 civic coupe, just stay wit' a 99-00 conv. all you need is the headlights,hood,fenders and the front end it will fit but you just need to modified the headlight you need to build a support to hold it, we did that conv. on my homeboys 93 civic hatch wit' put a 99' civic si front end and it fit but you need to modified the headlight it looks good, dont spend more that $500 though, if its more than that its not worth it........

 

ya i was thinkin si i would do jdm **** but unfortunately you need to have a mold to make cf/fiberglass unless you got CAD.. which i dont so .. yay for mold.

Just find someone to take off your original core support. Goto a wholesale oem style parts seller and get a 99-00 core support. Get that one welded on and the rest bolts up except for the fenders which u need to cut half old and half new. The 99 hood bolts right to your 95 without modifying anything.

 

Holy hatchcrap! I love that black hatch! :drool:

 

My cuzion got one like that but he's got the MUGEN front.

 

I heard that the front bumper bolts right on along with the hood. The fenders you have to do the half n' half trick (cut half of both fenders and weld then together). I've been pics of it before. Doesn't look bad..

Check this link for the S14 front conversion for the civic it's all bolt on no cutting and welding. It's all pretty cheap.

 

LOL. ok ill further elaborate for you guys. I just need the front end to cover and fit right on my civic. It can be any year really; newer the better. 00 si seems like the cut... just have to move the radiator support.

remember i dont need bolt ons... im making a one piece carbon fiber piece... the pieces im collecting are only used to make the mold!

 

you make carbon fiber one pieces? do you have any pics of your work?

 

nawp but im takin full pix of this install/work figuring id hook ya HT guys up if you like the work...

 

coo coo, I'm working on making my own one piece front end also.... It's almost done... just needs to be sanded smooth and it'll be good to go... It's got a black widow "hood" and a street fighter II front "bumper".....

 

damn nice work i saw a bangin 88 crx... black widow ii wide body complete kit with high door widebody.... all custom. only thing stock was the "crx" on the back lol.

you go CF? or just fiber glass? also did you use bondo to fill the grooves&gt;

Im not sure how good of quality the carbon fiber will come out as... damn air bubbles. guess we will have to see. heard its a bitch rolling them all out (little little ones remain) and you gotta use a vaccuum to suck out all the air.

 

well actually on 92-95 civics, with the 99-00 headlights and fenders all you have to do to make the headlights fit the fenders is cut the contour of the 99-00 headlights out of your factory 92-95 fenders. yes you will need a 99-00 core support, the 99-00 hood will bolt right up and with the new core support it will latch correctly, and then the 99-00 front bumper will bolt on easliy after that, 5 snaps on the top, and the 2 10mm screws underneath. But the hardest part about this is the headlight to fender fitment. this is what we did on my friends 95 cpe, once the core support, hood was on, we mounted the headlights, with the fenders off. the 92-95 fenders were long enough, so we just cut the contour of the 99-00 headlights out, which is a bigger cutout the little 92-95 headlights/corners. But where it gets tricky is when you mount the front bumper, the part of the front bumper, which bolts to the underside of the fender, contours out(flares out), to match the contour of the 99-00 fenders, which has more of a fender flare than the 92-95. So we had to get 99-00 fenders and cut the fender flare out and weld them to the 92-95 fenders. otherwise if you didn't do this, the edge of the 99-00 front bumper would flare out, and your 95 fenders don't, and it would look like shitty work.

the most time consuming part of this conversion is making the fenders look right, but its not impossible, other than that its pretty easy. look at alot of close up pics of the 99-00 front bumper/hdlite/fender areas, and then lood at 92-95 bmper/lite/fender areas and you'll see what i'm talking about, how the 99-00 f/bmper flares out to match the flare on the fender, where 92-95 don't have a flare, its smooth.
