Default EK front conversion on a EG hatchback?

Anyone did this with step by step pics? I already have the radiator support, fenders, hood, bumper and grill. I know I have to cut the fenders, but I'm not sure where to cut it. Thanks!

cut as close to the lights as possible on both fenders.

I know you didn't ask for my opinion but its just repeating in my head so I gotta post it.

I think the EK headlights are too big for the EG body, it'll look extremely awkward. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder or whatever.

Well the '97 ones aren't as big as the '99 ones so it shouldn't look that bad. Plus it's for my g/f and she wants it done.

Iono I'll post pics during the build up of the whole car. Once I get the front end, the whole car should be done in a month.

i dont think you need to replace the radiator support to do this i think you just might have to drill some holes in your stock one thats about it but no need to weld the EK one on

all you need is :::
stock EG fenders that you cut to fit
ek hood
ek bumper
ek grill
ek lights
i think thats it

good luck

Iono there's a few running around and most of em (the nice ones) have had the radiator support welded on. I'll probably do that because I already got the full front end on order.

To all you hating, well she's a girl, she'll never race it, and she just wants something different.
