Default Del Sol front end conversion

how hard is it to put an integra front end on a del sol? What pieces do I need, just a bumper?

You need fenders, bumper, hood, headlights, radiator support, and some welding.

I'd point out that you also need to have no taste, but you've already met that requirement.

please for the love of god dont harm the sol
but if you wanna do a coversion you'll need the whole front end and cut and weld the fender and support bar

the integra front end looks ugly on the del sol in my opinion if i was to do a conversion on the sol i'll go with the eg

And the mistake you're thinking about...

Personally, i'm working on doing the 99-00 conversion...you may want to rethink your integra idea.

All in all, it's your car, whatever you choose as long as you like it that's all that matters. But you will need to cut up fenders, need the hood, radiator support, front bumper and headlights/turnsignals.

Personally...I think they're ALL a huge mistake that WILL be regretted. You're going off of ONE pic, that is somewhat decently done. Every time I hear about a 99-00 Civic front on a Del Sol...someone shows me a picture of that white one. 99 percent of the people that attempt this, NEVER end up looking like that white one. But hey...if anyone wants to destroy a Del Sol, and have some fun while doing it...go for it.

I think the only one that doesnt make me wanna puke, is the 92-95 Civic front. Probably because its from the same years as the Del Sol was, and it looks like it "belongs" to an extent. That red one that has been posted actually looks REALLLY nice! To the point where I'd actually drive that every day with the quickness.

I hope that when you guys are done with your conversions, you arent too embarassed to post pics. So if it turns out badly...I get to use those pictures as proof to hopefully deter people from doing this in the future. Currently, one of the only pics we have online is of that white one...and that is only gonna make people want to do it even more, haha.

Well, good luck to you guys...it takes *****, and I respect that.

the only conversion that looks half stock is the del sol front end on the eg hatch. ever seen that? it looks like it belongs! the teg front on a del sol is too long and will make the front end look disproportional. i agree, get a oem eg lip. you will love it.
