Hi,friends told me that honda-tech.com has the only forum which could help me with all questions.
I live in germany and drive an B16 Del Sol.
User of the german hondaforum (hondapower.de) post some pics of american Del Sol's with an EK front!





I like this front and want the same for my Del Sol, an friend of mine called Micha (Wuman) which works for an Honda Dealer told me,that i only have to buy the EK parts and to install them on my Del Sol.He said that i only have to buy an closing carrier of the EK front.Is that true?Fits all EK parts on the chassis or have i anything to change? Would be so wonderful because it is not a problem to get headlights,hood, fenders and front bumper of an EK Civic.

Thanks

 

for how much i hate conversions and body kits that looks pretty nice. i know this has been coverd before so try a search but besides the obvious that u need u need the radiator support too.

 

all you need is:
hood
grill
bumper
headlights
fenders
and radiator support

 

In case you do the conversion, IM and sell me your one piece headlamps.

 

This goes for the 92-95 civic's too? Same bolt-on job, for EK conversions? Sorry, a tad off topic here...

 

It's not bolt on for the 92-95's civics or delsols... Welding and cutting is required.

 

Thanks.

That just sounded too damn easy. Ignorant me!

 

im curious too

yes you have to weld on a new rad support

 

i have seen the conversion first hand in my town and its damn nice! lines flow perfect and they should have made the del sol with that front end. The one i saw was oem and with a c'/f lip. crazy hot!

 

I hope so.Here in germany it is more then rare to drive an Del Sol,which looks not like the other ones.
The EK parts are very cheap so i think i buy the parts take the original parts away and bolt the EK parts on it,when it fits it would be nice.
When i've got to weld and cut i go crazy.
Damn that there is nobody which has an "EK"Del Sol...he should know everything about the conversion

 

lol second post today asking the same question.

oh, and the germans didnt get one piece headlights man. they got two piece ones, with glass headlight lenses.

Looks sick...

Got to have black housing though.

I like the look of those EK-fronted/EG's.

 

@SIcivicHATCH:And why you posted the pic of your Hatch?For what reason?

 

I know someone who has done this conversion to his del Sol. I will tell him about this thread

 

stuff you will need: civic hood, civic radiator support, civic headlights, 6in's of civic fenders, and civic bumper.

weld the 6in civic fenders to the del sol fenders obviously removing a 6in partion of your del sol fenders. put the radiator support on, the headlights, the bumper, and bolt on and align the hood.

here is what my sol USE to look like...

You have to cut the fenders at the portion closest to your headlight because you're going to keep your stock del sol's fenders. The EK ones do not bolt on. You have to weld on a piece of the ek fenders so the headlights look flush.

Expect a reasonable amount of welding. I replaced my radiator support and it wasn't that hard and only took me about 20 minutes to get the old one off and the new one welded... But the fenders will take some time between welding and bondo.

I used your pic as a example:



Arrow#1 is the 96-98 or 99-00 fender portion and Arrow#2 is the stock sol fender. The cut in the middle is where you join the two. Hope that helps.

 

i would like it if it didnt have that front bumper, i'd much ratether have a stock one like the si.
