Has anyone done this strange conversion, I have and it was a freakin nightmare,it worked for about..what 6 months then the corner panels would not align properly.
I saw a picture online and someone did perfect without using crx corner panels.

pics later

 

one of my buddies did it on his 89 hatch and it turned out like **** the hood doesent look right on the car ugly as hell

 

Aren't the hoods the same? lol

 

its the dam reinforcment thats different ,I want to find out if anyone has actually made it work.

 

I'm curious to see this too

 

I figure it would look pretty nice if you made the whole crx bumper one color, so that it doesn't have that black strip running through it.

 

This one kid i talk to from maryland did it i think it looks alright. Take a look http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/510579

 

Damn I thought the back half was the only difference. Crx's and civic's look the same to me.

Can you ask him how he did it and what all you need to do it? I'm assuming just a front clip from a CRX. I got a 89 DX Hatch and i think the CRX Front end looks better than the Civic one.

Also could you get the CRX Si-R front clip from HMO and use that instead of the USDM Front?

 

i beleive he said he got the bumper had to cut the bottom of the civic and bottom of the bumper then weld it put the crx front bumper support and it will go right on but it has to be from a crx hf.... ill tell you for sure what to do later...

my friend did the swap....it came out lop sided...like one side was higher than the other....i'll take a pic and post it next time i see the car...

 

not my car:

 

when I put my CRX front end on, it all bolted right up. I used a 91 Si front and put it on my 91 DX hatch. The only difference between the two cars is the bottom half of the CRX fender is designed for the black plastic moulding the CRX's have and the CRX fenders are flared more with different corner lights. To overcome the lower fender issue, you can cut and weld on the Civic lower fender.

 

If I were to keep my hatch I wanted to do this, I am glad to see others agree the crx front is more sexy.

 

why dont you just buy a crx

 

it is sexy isnt it

Not really. The only thing that makes the jdm crx front EXTRA SEXY is that it has the extra grille. Other than that, it doesn't match the hatch (the air inlets don't flow with the hatch)

Your right. To me it just does not flow at all.

 

wow someone rockin the dx seats
Not bad w/the USDM crx front end, but the jdm front end just doesn't look right, maybe it's just my mind playin tricks on me.

(hopefully cardomain linked pics work)

 

Thats the guy i talked ot his looks bad. Nice and clean to i talk to him all the time..

i do have a friend with only the CRx 90-91 front bumper, and it's looking nice!!



isnt it?

 

None of those look that bad at all. It would **** me off though when seeing them coming at me in the opposite lane and I think its another CRX but it turns out to be a hatch.
