I have seen this somewhere on the internet and it looks terrible. You can't successfully mix the modern look of the newer front end with the older styling of the back end and make it look right.

The cost to do this kind of conversion would also be way too much money for it to be worth it.

I personally have never seen the point of grafting different body parts on different cars, ie headlight/tailight conversions and the like, but to each is own.

it is rather simple. You use the civic hood, bumper, front main support, lights, and fenders. Weld on the main support, bolt on the hood and lights, graft the front of the civic feners onto the back half of your stock fenders, and atach the bumper.

Actually completing it is harder than the concept.

Fenders, bumper, and headlights are super cheap off ebay.

It's relevant? A) The thread is old and never went anywhere for a reason B) He already has a thread about this same crap

Yeah, but old threads are inherently filled with more win than new ones.. Everybody knows this. I bet this thread was originally created during the time when honda-tech still allowed kill-threads...

i just think that a crx's front end should look like a crx's front end. anything else, and you are bastardizing two types of cars that were made by honda. it just isnt right in my opinion. i got the pic from a thread on hondaswap.com

none of these swaps look good except the del sol eg front end swap.

IF YOU IDIOTS HAVE TO ASK HOW TO DO IT THEN IT IS ABOVE YOUR SKILL SET!!!

Got Money?

Add newbs for instant fail thread.

(Oh and BTW, CRX's are OLD... Go buy a new car and ruin that one; they don't make these cars anymore.)
