lol i've seen it before. It looks retarded unless you do the type r conversion on it then it looks decent. that is if you 'have' to do a conversion

leave it stock

I know it'll fit on a 92-95 hatch with slight modification but I'm unsure about the 96. It'll definitely fit it just depends on the amount of money you want to spend

Yes, it can be done, civic and integra stucture is the same, both cars are built on the same unibody-"frame" so all of the demensions are the same, so everything is the same on the front end exept the aprons and the radiatior support, TEG front comes out a bit ferther- aprons are a bit longer if you want it to turn out clean have someone who knows what they are doing change both aprons and then weld up a TEG radiator support and if you want to save some money, keep your stock aprons, get integra support welded up and run little brackets from the top of the aprons to the top of the radiator support for stability, everything else is bolt on, but the fenders you got to do half and half, the civic half to line up with the door and TEG half to line up with the bumper cover, get them cut in half and weld up the halfs that you are going to use and then slap some bondo on there to me a smoth transision, and that's about it... GOOD LUCK, BUD...

I'm all for conversions/doing different stuff. Its just allot of the idea's have been takin up. Which sucks.

best thing you can do if you want to customize your car is to do everything yourself. Just grab a big ass can of bondo and get some different parts from other cars and go to work. It takes time but its worth it. I just molded my whole body kit to my car (a lot of sanding and work but is totally worth it) and I would have never had the satisfaction of putting some bullshit on my car and been ok with it. Just go with your insperation and make it happen it. I'm sure if you have any problems we could help you out.

If there is nothing wrong with the front end that is on there now, why the hell put a new one on? Especially one that wasnt even made for the car. Seems like a waste of time and money to me. But if that is what you are in to, i guess i cant hate. And oynx, chill bro, you dont have to get all pissed when somebody expresses an opinion.

im jsut getting sick of people trying new things with OEM parts and they are called rice. now if they went to the APC store and bought 1 of everything and amde it look gay and not have anything painted then that is rice.

I saw a 92 HB with an integra front end on it this weekend at the track and I think it looks badass. I personally like the integra front end 100% more than the Civic front end so I would say go for it. Its definitely not considered rice to do that becuase it'll look clean and it'll stand out as a nice car that has smooth bodylines. Who cares what anybody else thinks just go for it

i saw a 96/00 w/ an rsx front end and taillight conversion. i wasn't really into it but it was done pretty well. IMO doing things like that is cool, as long as you have something under the hood to back it up. I intend on doing a 99-00 front end swap on my 96 civic, after my turbo, water injection, and suspension are done. but as of right now I have my priorities straight.
