Front End Conversion

[craigo53]

i have a 93 civic and i was wondering what i'll need to put a 96 integra front end on the car. how difficult would this job be? i found a whole front end of an integra and thought it would look damn good on my coupe.

well... civicSIck, vtecpower, and eg_drifter did a 99-00 conversion on civicSIck's 96-98, and that is suposed to be one of the "easier" front end conversion, and from what I hear it was quite a bitch. But basically your going to need a hood, front bumper, fenders, lots of tools and patience.

If your going to do this much work, You should put an ITR front end on it. Ive seen the USDM integra front end on alot of hatches at carshows (never on coupes, from what ive seen so far) But if you got the money and time try doing something that has never been done. Personally I like the CTR front end, and ITR.

probably looking at about 3k-4k for doing an entire front end conversion like this one though. I just never liked the front end of integras. 4 circular lights are kind of boring, I like the older integra fronts.

Me too..
I have scene this conversion done on hatches as well, i don't think it would be to much different on a coupe.

Have you ever looked into just having your front end done with S2000 headlights, You cant go wrong with that. HID's and the whole 9 yards!! Its a definate head turner, You would def be stealing the thunder with a modifacation to the front end like that!

Conversion to work you will need:

DC2 Front Core Support
DC2 Fenders
DC2 Headlights
DC2 Front Bumper
DC2 Hood

and make sure everything fits, as far as i know i think everything bolts up except the fenders, they might need some work but it cant be that hard.
