Default ***Advice***Del sol with a 99-00 civic front end conversion

hi i'm thinking on doing a civic conversion on my del sol and wanted to get some advice from you guys to see what you guys think on this subject...i found out the proceedure and it's not to hard to do but i want to know what people will think if i go head and do this conversion...there's a link on where you can check out a del sol with the conversion already...if any of you guys have some nice del sol's with the same conversion i would like to see some also... thank you and hope to hear your guys opinion...

i think a 99 front end conversion on a del sol looks alright. if u want to do it just get a reputable shop to do it for you. or maybe even the guys that have done JDM front end on integras. sad to say that most of the time i see del sol with 99-00 civic front end conversions are true rice-mobiles. sure hope you don't go down that path.

I think it looks very nice, something that would make you take a second look. Like Azntagger said, if done badly it will obviously look....bad. Get it done right and put up some pics! =]

Go with an eg front end, EK front-end is to wide and big for a small del-sol, but its your choice.

You want to swap a differnt car's front end onto your car and you reply with this? It's your car, your money, and your time and energy. Do whatever it is and make up your own mind.

I'm not crazy about it. If it were me I'd just stay with the OE front end, but throw on some one-piece headlights and some EDM aux's. That and a lip and you can look different, but not like another car, and still keep the real smooth lines of the Sol... good luck with whatever you decide to do though.
