fitting ek front end ,to a eg civic??
 
I am currently spraying my eg civic sedan and i wouldnt mind putting a ek front on it,seens that the ek sedan has pretty much the same back i think it should make the car look a bit newer.Has any body done this before?also would the bonnet and fender fit straight on?can Anybody give me a shopping list on what ill need?

to put a 99 front end on a let say a 92 sedan of coupe or hatch well you have to cut the fender at the wheelwell that liyttle part like 3-4 inches keep the fender from the door to the cut then cut the 99 fender to the headlight. bondo that together. you need:
1. 99 raditor support
2. 99 fenders
3. 99 hood bolts on
4. 99 headlights
5. 99 bumper get the si looks like a si front end
then you get a 99 civic front end. i hope that answer your question

yea, like whiteb16crx said: gotta take off the ur front radiator support weld on the ek support...but the first thing i would do is...
1:take off ur whole front end cut stock fenders about 3 inch up from the bottom
2:take the ek hood and bolt it on
3:stick on the ek fenders..rivit too the stock eg fender flange on the bottom that connects to the car..under the side skirts..w/rivits
4:align everything up perfectly...
5:take the ek support slap it on...make everything match up...then weld it in place..
6:fiberglass/bondo over the rivits
7:slap all the other bs on headlights/grill/front bumper/

should be set to go...

i did my crx with 97 integra front like this...pretty ez convo...also has custom widebody and corvette tails...

sold the bitch rite after i got done with the body work...
kinda grew out of the "all show scene"
