Default 99-00 front end conversion

i can get an excellent deal on a 94 civic with a dohc motor already installed. But I am not too fond of the look of EG's. How much work is needed to convert the front to a 99-00? i know its basically bolt-on for a EK, but dont have to much knowledge for a eg.

You're most likely going to have to cut and weld the front ends together; at least the fenders. Take the front side of the fender form the 94 (the side that butts up to the doors) and cut them in half. Weld the 99 side of the fender that butts up to the bumper to the 94 back half and hope for the best. Thats my .02.

the fenders wont match up so its going to take alot of blending because they have completely different flares to them. so it wont fit quit right and it will probably **** you off when your done

buy an EK!!!!
not worth the money and hassle, The great deal you're gonna get on the eg will be completely negated by the money you'll pay for the conversion....unless your planning on doin yourself.....If so do a search on integra front end civic.......it will give you an idea of what's involved
good luck
