Ok I for one think it is tasteless and totally messes up the body lines of a car, That front end is totally not even right for a civic nor is a teg front end of any kind(not poking fun at the member with the eg/teg hrbrid thingy)

If you want a teg buy a teg, if you want a rsx save up and buy a rsx but I guess it is where I am function > form in everything I do and like the existing body of a civic

I used the front end off a 96 integra and i have a 90 civic and I got my body lines to match almost near perfect. Its not that I want an integra so I did a conversion instead, its about being a tuner and doing what you like to make your car stand out from the rest. When you own a civic, you have to do some outragous stuff to be able stand out from the rest of the civic world. My buddy and I had a donor integra sitting around so we just did the conversion and dash conversion. But each their own.

I agree w/ JDEF. Go for it, if that's what you wanna do! That's what sets your car apart from everyone elses, individuality!!! I know every car owner prolly hates seeing someone drive by with the same sh*t they got. But I also agree w/ the other guys...ya can't just have the looks w/out the kick-*ss motor to go along with it! GO FOR IT!!!

Like I said not many will like my opinion on the matter, but to point out what I was saying is your car has a rounded off teg front end and a squared off hatch rear end. I'm not trying to **** anyone off it's just my opinion. Plus I would rather spend money on putting what is in the RSX's engine bay in my car rather than the front end.

well once the skyline tails go in the rear end will be rounded off a lil more but not much and I'm also working on the engine bay now with the new power plant.

The front end conversion cost and the dash conversion cost me I think maybe $50 and that was just for fiberglass for the fenders and maybe some other little odds and ends stuff I might of had to pick up. We did all the work ourselves and had a donor car for all the parts.
