start calling bodyshops, this isn't a bolt on conversion.

the thing to consider is that when you try to put that frontend on your car it will completely change the proportions of it. i'd be willing to bet your civic is much narrower up front and the angle of the hood/fenders doesn't match up well with the headlights so it'll just look like a midget with a bigass head.

Sounds like the best route...one of the nicest conversions ive ever seen was the silver elite eclipse that was on here for sale awhile back with the g35 tails and i think it had a IS front?

Anything is possible with enough money. Tim West has IS300 headlights on his civic:

Jeff Guise has Supra headlights, and im sure there are many more, but NONE of them are cheap. Expect thousands of dollars to make it look right.
