yea there was a pic that i saw just yesterday of a Del Sol with a 96 Civic front on it. Looked good.
I believe that its all bolt-on...hood, fenders, bumper, headlights.
I could be wrong though

It's no bolt on. You may as well put a type r front on.

del sol has the lines to pull off a 96+ front end......
an EG doesnt.

you need to weld the front half of the 96+ fender to the back half (next to the door) of the EG fender......and then you need all the other parts, etc etc.......

That front end looks ugly on an eg in my opinion, however the 99-00 si front end conversion is pretty tight and it bolts up to an eg...and its something that you dont see every day...

The designers at Honda get paid millions of dollars for a reason. Don't screw up a good EG, if you want an EK, buy one.

You do realize they are pretty much the same front end? The only visible difference is the front bumper and headlights. And you won't even notice the headlight difference unless you know what you are looking for. I wanted to get the 99-00 front end for my cx and decided to say **** it because it is too much money to have my car look almost the same as it did before.

I'm going to have to agree w/ you but the majority of the people that bother coming to this site in the 1st place would be able to spot the conversion pretty easily. I've grown to like the look of the 96-98 front end w/ the right combination of lip, oem fogs,and 99-00 grille.

Yeah... it must have look like **** alright... they don't belong to any of your boyz .... do they? Anyways, a friend of mine did this conversion along with a Buddy Club front bumper and JDM style black headlights. It looks awesome. Remember, quality auto body work cannot be done in 5 minutes!!!

Now that's true devotion to Honda! Your Honda is stock right?

Wow, two stock Hondas in one thread! Yours is stock as well right? I certainly hope both you individuals Hondas are stock, if not then I would doubt people so hypocritical have room to talk.



There is also a DIY on page #6 of this individual carddomain addition.

Sorry MR.RICER didn't mean to offend anyone. You're right I do have one thing that's in style it's called speed you may have heard some people at the car show talking about it.

I don't think he was offended, was simply making a valid point, unlike your stupid post.
