yeah I like that conversion, although I am a fan of the 5th gen headlights because they have a meaner more narrow look to them. I have also seen rsx headlight conversion into a 5th gen looks tight!

A while back one of the delivery drivers that used to work for me for Jason's deli used to buy salvaged cars, fix them and sell them dirt cheap, he had a yellow 92-95 hatch and did this conversion because at the time he could not find the correct parts and he wanted to sell it.

Brand new motor and paint, he wanted to sell it to me for 5k but at the time I was not making any moolah....besides I was happy with my sedan.... i miss it

He hooked up his brother in law with a 2000 hatch for 2500. It had been hit on the front and it only needed a bit of frmae work and fenders/hood... the guy bought it for something like 2000 with the new parts and the labor was done by him and the brother in law.
great deal if you ask me..at least for a project car. I may endup hitting him up soon after I graduate..,I need something to tinker with.

no,now you just have to deal with the insanely bubble ugly rear end.They should have kept the 6th gen hatch rear end looking like the 6th gen coupes.

or don't do the conversion at all and the 6th gen can keep their huuuge bug eyed headlights and the bubble ass end.
I am not a fan of 6th gen hatches simply cuz of the oversized headlights and tails.
