Default Front end conversion???

I have a 95 Civic DX Coupe and I'm not too fond of the front end looks. Is it possible to buy parts for a 2000 year model and make it all fit up. I'm sure it won't be cheap since it's just about every front end body part and maybe even more. I'm just wondering if it's even possible or if anyone has done it. If someone out there has some pictures of a converted one could you please post some here?

well can't find it but, ive been posting on here about a front end conversion but on my 96. i want 99-00 front. i know its not much of a diff but it is to me. they look alot better. anyway just replace your headlights, front grill, hood, both fenders and the front support bar. go the a junk yard or buy new but that should be all u need, that and some good weather. hope u do it.

What is the difference between the 96 and 00 for front ends? By front support bar do you mean the radiator core support? I'm definetly considering doing this conversion as long as I don't have to add past the doors.

After reading the posts on that 95 converting to the 2000 front end that doesn't seem so easy. I'm looking to bolt everything right up. Not cut and weld body parts. How about just taking the year up one from mine to a 96? The main look I like is the front grille, and the bumper look. I'm sure for my list of parts I'd need just about everything up front from a 96 and hopefully no welding will be required.

I think it is pointless and IMHO the EG's look great to start with

im with you..if i didnt have a 2000 civic, i would go with a 95 model..there are great looking project car, its going to be alot of work and money unless you can find the parts at a great deal
