That would look utterly disgustion and would be a travesty among all that which delights the minds of car tuners.

You just wasted $1000 to make your car ugly as sin when you could have spent it on a turbo... Shame.

Cough Cough my nuts, totally not of choice of mine. Honda-tech is for stock looking sleepers. If your here for body kits and money wasting go join some other site that has those types of things. Wasting 1 grand on a useless front end can be 1 Grand towards the poor and the starving. No one here will be able to help you since we don't rice our cars out. Its all about JDM Rice.

Uhhh headlights? You still need those. Ugly conversion. You could have had a full carbon fiber lip kit or a CF hood and front lip. Sigh. Sorry man but it really does not look good.

I thought I had a photo of this awhile back, but now I can't find it.

Anyway, here are some conversions on a 6th gen Civic coupe and a 4th gen Accord.

I know.... It's painful to look at.

I would have gone with a S13 front end........ and oddly the s14 front on the accord doesn't look too bad....

When ever it comes to cross manufacturer part swaps you will always have alot of work to do as well as alot of negative comments, some cars just don't look good with other cars parts (like skyline tails on anything but a skyline)...... And at the same rate swapping parts from other year cars of the same make is also hit or miss with alot of work, I've seen several 93ish civic hatches with either integra or 6th gen civic front end swaps..... While it does give a unique-ish look, it's still not fitting for the car....

End the end make good friends with your body man and look forward to lots of work, money spent, time lost and alot of negative comments.
