88-91 EF9 (Civic Sir) Front End Conversion

is the 88-91 EF9 (Civic Sir) Front End Conversion a bolt on affair or is this something that a body shop is going to half to do i have a 88 hb an is there any where i can get more info on it like a 'how to' & pic's
thanks:bloated:

Pm EF_LSVtec. He did the coversion on his...he should be able to help.

Pretty much bolt on...jdm bumper mounts is an inch shorter than the usdm...the bolts will not line up on the usdm bumper mounts so you need some washers and a longer bolt to brace the jdm bumper. Also the jdm radiator support needs to be moved to line up to your hood latch. This is what I did...

and last, the jdm corner lights is not a direct fit. USDM corners are mounted by 2 screws and jdm has a plastic latch and 1 screw by the headlight...You need to transfer the plastic mount from the jdm fender if you're using your stock fenders.
Here's the finished product...

Let me know if you have any other questions...

well i got the hole front half of the car and if you get the JDM suport and every thing it bolts up no problems if you dont get the suport and every thing you gota do mods to get it to fit

Damn your motor is a beast :). So I need more than just the hood latch for the core support huh? I have the whole cut but don't know what all i need. I started putting the peices on but you need the hood for the lower parts to look right. Also my filler piece was really out of line did you guys have this problem? Hopefull my paint job will be done by janauary

post your pics soon, painted or not, lets see that badboy QuickSilverEF9...Just transfer em a piece at a time and you'll figure out what you'll need. it's really easy, just time consuming if you have to redo it...:flash:

I would but my hood has some open chips on it and i really dont want to battle rust.......

here is what i did

pull all the USDM parts off

start with the radeator suport keep your hood lach though just swap it on to the JDM core (dont disconect it)

then lights

filler plate takes some doing but it should line up took me a few times to get it right

i took the bumper brakets off the JDM front and put them on the my car

bolted up the bumper and i was dun

o ya i used the JDM side brakets for the bumper to the ones that fit on the fenders



my page peep my fliks ill try to take more to (http://www.geocities.com/ef9_jdm/main.html)

What is the radiator support exactly? Some guy on ebay was selling the cross bar with the hood latch as the full radiator support so I thought thats what it was..... Can you tell me what parts I need to pull for the radiator support. I am going to do what you did with the bumper brackets and everything.
