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

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.

Re: Front end conversion, Nice or Rice?

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.

Re: Front end conversion, Nice or Rice?

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. GL
