If your going to do it.....it will take lots of time and patience...not to mention skills.
If a shop is going to do it.... it will take lots of $$$$

if thats the case ...just make sure you guys know what your doing before you start. Last thing you want to do is have your car come out all retarted looking.
Thats why i as first if anyone has a pic of one so I have a reference to compare and to work from.

my friend did that ...oh yea it's for sale 8'000 had gsr now just a greddy turbo on a 99 sohc vtec motor goes good and looks crazy. also has integra dash power windows tv dvd screen pwr windows greddy exaust shaved handles perfect bodylines spent well 4000 just in paint and body work painted 96 civic hatch green.
if you want a pic email me IbOn1KwEsT@hotmail.com
I currently have all the parts for an integra front end on my 94 civic hatch ... everything bolts right up the fenders have to be cut right above the wheel and blended together.. much eaiser if you get 2 sets of fiberglass fenders, just a suggestion.

there was a HOW-To on this on http://www.importfan.com

Basiclly you need the 6th gen civic fenders, headlights, radiator support,6th gen hood, and front bumper i think, not sure if im missing anything. You like Cut your 92-95 civic fenders in half somewhere and cut the 6th gen civic fenders as well and you weld the front end of the 6the gen fender to the rear end of the 5th gen fender, then you put those on. Then you install the hood, radiator support, and headlights and Front bumper, and your done.
This is a brief discription on how to do it, for a more detailed discription go to http://www.importfan.com im just giving you and idea on how to do it.
