Front end conversion, Nice or Rice?

Thinking close to doing my 90-93 teg front end conversion, found a picture of it done to a crx, wanted to get some oppinions.

I like it, it looks clean. In my opinion any conversion isn't done right unless someone who's never seen the car thinks it looks stock. With those lights it goes along naturally with our car's "edgey" appearence. I don't like those particular lights on the crx, but i've seen others that look nice.

I can't wait to get my ef SiR headlights in :smokin:

By the way, What happened to the beamer projectors you were gonna do?

I got them and tried to mock them up and the back side of them was way too big, it got in the way of everything, so I sold them and I'm back to the teg idea again.

:werd:

if you have the budget go for it. but me, i dont really like that bumper picture.

ya, that bumper make the car look almost buck-toothed..... i think i R34 bunper would look sick.

those are the jdm type r headlights not 90-93, but they do look similar.

I'm going to be making a new bumper, accually a one piece solid carbon front end. hood, bumper and fenders will be one solid carbon piece that will lift off like on drag cars.

those are ITR headlights, I'm not talking about just the headlights I"m talking about the entire front end.

wow, sounds nice, good luck with it and i hope u have deep pockets.

there deep enough.

nice, i look forward to seeing pics when your done, it would even be better it u post progress pic... :)

nah, I havnt posted any pictures of my stuff so far, I'm just going to bust out with the completed stuff, gotta have the wow factor going on.

Alright then, quit your jaw jackin' and lay some carbon fiber already! j/k :)

Def lots of planning necessary to make such an extensive conversion, I agree the overall look is good, just don't like the huge cut out in the bumper for the intercooler. :2cents: GL

I like the bumper & if I had the tools & time to do somthing like that,
I would definitly consider doing that.

o yea,
rice or nice?
NICE!

I think it looks pretty sick. Those projectors look good.

the conversion looks sweet! i think i remember seeing a front end conversion on a crx from the 96-00 civics, and that looked pretty sweet, but weird :)

can't wait to see your stuff silent

I had the r34 bumper on my rex... but its just too big for the front end... kind of stuck out on the sides... I didn't like it I ended up putting the stock bumper back on.

I saw a ford focus front end conversion on a focus once. It looked very nice. Also, it had an RSX rear-end conversion. It was a show-car with a b16.

Did you mean to say a Ford Focus conversion on a Civic? :confused:

Oops. I meant a CRX with a ford focus front end conversion.

Here are some intersting conversions:

i really like that second link, with the wide 12 piece black widow body kit...looks sick!

i want stock style 1 piece projectors too!

That first CRX is prerry nice. It kinda looks like it has a long nose, but def. a one-off....

Its not a one-off its a body kit, they make that one for the crx and the civic one is a convertable. I dont think its in production anymore though.

I wish I could buy that one, if I only had $2000. Put a B18c5, boost it, and it's already making probably close to 300 hp for $5000.

That kit is called the Vitesse. Makes the hatchback into a convertible.

whoa, those kits are pricy

like 5000 for the kit, 1500 to paint it, and another 1500-2000 to install...crazy. Thats $8500!! I could buy me a nice 6th gen civic EX for that price
