crx with 5th gen lights... how would that look?

myself and a few friends just got a 1989 crx. we all kinda agree that the lights and whole front are kinda boxy and square. we talked about it and decided to see what some other front ends would look like. i personally like the way the 5th gen fronts look...

so i was wondering if there is anyway to get the front end onto a crx?

also, about how much would that cost?

also, has anyone ever seen this done or have any idea wat it would look like?

well, hope i didnt piss anyone off by doin this... pic or links would be cool too... peace

ive seen it, check google. as for cost, probably going to have to do it all yourself, or pay thousands for a shop to do it custom. go to a JY to get the front end off a 5th gen. you will need to chop the fenders as well for the corners, and the front ends always look saggy. i know it would be easy to find pics of an 94-00 integra front end, that is a more common swap. good luck

If you don't like the factory look of the crx, sell it. Please don't murder another one and deduct from it's legacy.
Personally, I think out of all the Honda/Acura front ends out there, the EG front end looks the most horrid.

Is it really worth the couple thousand dollar bill it will cost just to swap a front end? I mean seriously, there's no performance gain whatsoever. I always thought swapping front ends/taillights was stupid and belonged on show cars only.

I've seen it. Looks like shit. Don't do it, crx's are getting hard enough to find how it is. I won't even tell you how to do it or give you links just to help save the poor thing.

Bam- I personally love the eg front end. But I really hate the rear end on eg hatches. I'd love to get a coupe!

wow... wasnt really expecting that at all... well for starters i've seen the integra front end i personally dont like it... we voted on it and decided not to go with it... and also wat do u mean by they look saggy?... and sorry to be messing with the crx it's just we dont exactly like the way it look, it's just too boxy. if u can tell us how to make it look less boxy and subtle at the same time then please do. no crazy fugly body kits or stuff like that. just looking for something clean that will make it look less boxy... now how hard would it be to just put on the lights and mod everything around that. we have access to a workshop and can do metal work. cuz i was lookign at it and niticed that it's just kinda the lights that make it look so boxy up front. so if we could just on the lights and mod around those that'd be cool and keep the lines, just rounder i guess. so yea...

the boxy look makes it a fucking crx. leave it alone. its sexy as it is. if you want a eg, buy a eg.

sorry to be messing with the crx it's just we dont exactly like the way it look, it's just too boxy.

Then by all means don't buy one. It's a classic the way it is and throwing on any eg or da or whatever front end will make it look like shit. :2cents:

I agree, 100%.
If you want to change the front end, do the jdm look. They make plenty of sexy lips to go along with it as well. Personally, I think the 90-91 crx front end is the sexiest front evaaaR.
As for the EG front end, let me rephrase it. I still think it looks like crap in it's OEM configuration. But, add some clean (not ebay) one piece headlights and a nice CF lip and it's sexy as hell.

I agree with these guys. leave the lights alone, it makes it a CRX. No other front end looks right on it, they all look saggy(meaning the front end kind of points down more than the rest of it). If you want something that isn't boxy, get you a EG.

I like the way the EGs look, wish I had a 4dr over a coupe though, easier to find parts for and they weigh less too. I have 2 coupes, one race car, the other is the parts car because of how big of a pain they are to find parts for.

Here's something that no one mentioned yet. If you still want a CRX but with a rounder front end, sell it and buy a Del Sol (the updated version of the crx). You bought a boxy looking car, if you don't like that then you should have bought something newer ('92+).

ahh yes u fucked with the wrong bee hive today lol most if not all of us that posted are into the clean/jdm look..i agree with all above it would be a shame to destroy the front of a legend like the crx.. they are diminishing everyday cause of assholes street racing getting into accidents..crx's burnin cause of ricers and queers trying to setup there house stereos and xmas lights n neons!! please sell it..neways if u decide to butcher the old girl..i was always a tad bit fond of the 99-00 front end..wouldnt ever do it but if done right looks ok..SiR front nigguh!!

they look saggy because the front end of 92s are sloped or curved a lot more than the "box" crx/civic. and yeah, the stock look with Si lip is the ticket. make some space for a FMIC tho haha.

combining two different generations doesnt go well with 4th gens..they have their own look to them and if you dont like boxy go with somethin newer. whatever you do keep it clean.

+2 on jdm..the asians will thank you themselves and play nintendo Wii with you

:lol:

go jdm. or buy a damn eg.

well ok then guys... sorry... seeing as how u have voiced ur opinions on it and as to the fact that we would much rather not be the objet of much hate from honda people, we wont do it... but we are gonna find a nice subtle body kit for it with the vented sides, so yea... lol... now we're just thinking of wat a decent engine would be, but that'll be a dif thread... peace ya'll

ah not another body kit!

get a jdm front and sir rear.

or a complete real mugen body kit. a real one not ebay

The front of a crx is just too damn sexy, the way the fenders flare and the hood...damn! If only my bumper sat right :(

but we are gonna find a nice subtle body kit for it with the vented sides
Dunno, vented sides aren't all that subtle.

:iagree:

don't forget the nos stickers

back in the day (maybe GTA remembers) i knew a guy with the screen name "droopy"...he had a mint green sedan. back when projectors first came out for the 5g they didn't make them for the 4g. he bought 5g projectors and modified his hood to fit. it's been years since i've talked to him. i remember he had to cut one area and weld in some other areas. i know i have pics on my pc....ummm, somewhere. i'll try to find them this evening.

keep in mind, he wasn't a professional welder, bodyman, or painter. he got some ideas and tried them. which brings me to the next pic. i forgot he had also made himself some altezzas before they were avalible as well.

again, not perfect. but i give him a A+ for idea & effort

EDIT: 1 more note. that's a CRX bumper. he modded his support so it would fit any crx aftermarket or oem front bumper. it was just 1 more mod that hadn't been done before at the time

i think the front turned out awesome..hrmm how many yrs ago do u think this might of been? 4-5 maybe? i wonder if that car still exist a++ for creativity and being unique

i wish i knew...the guy was hella cool. he lived in miami and hung out with an orange sedan. i'll try to search out some more pics. i have a disc somewhere with 300+ 4g pics :screwy:

i would say in 1999-2000 as it was on the yahoo civic forum. thats where i met GTA....we both had joined when there was less than 300 members. when the count got to thousands the 1 sole mod/admin bounced out and it turned into spam hell. ahhh, the good old days.
