Default RSX Conversions

Just curious but has anyone done a conversion to an RSX front? Usually you have to cut fenders and change radiator/core support.

I HIGHLY DOUBT it would look good. The body shapes of the two cars are just too different.

You would think it would real bad. But I did see a very professional photo shop of just that and to be honest it looked really good. But obviously a PS is no justification for the end result in the real world. But yeah I have to agree, it would probably look horrible.

The Polk Momo girl Kathryn has it done to her '99 Si. Look at the ad in like Import Tuner or something. It looks really clean.

Don't think it would look good on an EP3 though...

The RSX front, basically the car has this look that needs to grow on you. You don't look at the car and say "nice". With a few clean mods the car looks great. I think a bad conversion that I've seen is on 92-95 (EG) Hatchbacks. Integra fronts or newer civic fronts on that look funny to me. I did see a Type R front on a 99-00 Civic and that looked great. I was even thinking about an RSX front on an Integra. If someone put those headlights on a CRX, how bad can it look?
