[The BUCKY]

i'm so sorry

[Jecht]

I'm not really feeling it. I like the stock 96-98 front...

[Annihilation]

thats that car i seen riding around...worse conversion ever made for a car IMO

but hey diff ppl like diff shit


I say go with a 99-00 civic front conversion

good luck

[Jecht]

but hey diff ppl like diff shit


good luck

Nah, its not the worst conversion. There is some guy around Smyrna with a red 92-95 Civic coupe with no bumper and S2000 headlights on his car - the fenders are just cut to fit them, and poorly done at that.

[Linis Astald]

Im sorry too, but for other things. Thanks though for the wonderful comment.

I don't like the stock fronts for some reason. I dont get the feeling from them.

Im liking it alright, theres still some stuff that needs to get done to it before I feel its perfect, but to each his own.

Thanks all for the comments.

[JITB]

reminds me of that Si with the rsx front, from xrated..

[Kyle]

That's a strange hood.

[auxiliary]

how much work does it take to get that to fit?

[Linis Astald]

The orginal install(hardly any fitting, just getting it on and minor moves) took about an hour and a half in the dark including removing the old. I then would move it a little when I had time, but I had to take it in to get the current fit snice I wasnt able to move the drivers side fender any further. Overall, Ive spent about 10 hours mostly with the head lights and drivers side panel and about $280 for the current fit, with some more time in the shop to work it bit more before they paint.

[TIGERJC]

:wtf: :upchuck:

[thepolecat]

def not my cup o tea, but hey man- congrats on doing something you like as opposed to what everyone else says to do.

^^^^ i gotta see that shit :lmfao: :lmfao: see if ya can get a pic up!

[N/A EK]

I seen a 92-95 Civic Coupe w/ a RSX conv. in the snellville area :sicks:

[Krappy]

MY EYES!

[F1ian(si)]

yea um...

[Evil Goat]

id find the guy who stole my car and put that hideous conversion on it and beat his ass..... :screwy:

[Fr33way]

Maybe a stock RSX front, but not feeling it yet.

[silversol]

man you just ruined a perfectly good civic! now just run it off a clif your car will thankyou!!!

[Jecht]

Even though some of us don't like it, don't take too much offense. Its just our opinion. What matters is that you like it. I personally think that you did a good job with the conversion - its clean and doesn't look like you just cut up the fenders and zip-tied the lights on. lol

I do think you need a nice exhaust to fill that space in the rear bumper though.

[Julio]

Rice.

[Linis Astald]

<< Well... The lights... They are kinda zip tied in at the moment. I need to remake the brackets that hold them in place. The old ones no longer work now that its been "professionally" fitted.

And to the comment of driving my car of a cliff. No thanks, thats quite alright. But I have to ask you. How do you know I ruined something when you have no before pictures? What if the front end was something much worse before? Or the orginal front end had been damaged? I don't mind that you don't like it, its not your car. You can do what ever you like to yours. As can anyone else. Even if that means adding a 10 foot spoiler made of cardboard and duct tape.

Now that my semi-speach is finished. Thanks for those that understand that this is my car and I do like what I have done, even if they dont.

I still would have driven it recked before i did that to it!

[2.0civic]

wow that conversion is original...i saw two at the MOG the other day (one red one blue and orange).....whatever floats your boat though

[bigdare23]

The conversion doesnt really look too bad, but just isnt my style. props to you tho

[R_Rated]

post pics with the lambo doors open, then it will look more faster!

[NoPainT]

:wtf: :upchuck:


X2!!

[R_Rated]

[Ed]

lmao @ R Rated... the neon is teh shit man... this dude is your competitor...

anyway, car is ugly... conversions ftmfl... most look like shit... but like everyone said, whatever floats your boat and g/l...

[USMC_is300]

rice rice baby dum dum dum dumb

[Julio]

The truth is.. your car looks like shit. So in a way you have come to the right place.

Im sure some people can help you and your car see the light and tastefully help you with your car even with all the shit it has going on right now.

nothing wrong with a kitted car as long as is done corectly.
So I would listen to some of the members here.. some I wouldnt.. but for the most .. pay attention.

You car needs alot of help. ZIP TIES is always a sign of ghettoriged shit.

[4dmin]

its ok... front bumper is alittle much... i would suggest shaving the car moldings, slamming it, possibly putting carbon the front bumper making it look more like a front splitter/air dam (lower portion only), and fill in the gaps around the hood look alittle large.

[phongt12]

i'm not going to beat around the bush...but that car is awful. it's the epitome of rice and basically either go back to stock or just buy an RSX.

^^Get rid of the JDM tag and it'll be peach. :goodjob:

[Sushi]

I dont think it flows very well for a civic. Also the fitment dosent seem right on the driver side. But if its what you want to do the do it. I saw a crx with a rsx front and rear conversion it looked really clean. but the civic just dosent seem like the right platform for this conversion.

[KevinT707]

As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Good job on the bodywork!

[DeutscheBAG!]

Still alot of work being done to it.

and a lot of work u have :thinking:

[Linis Astald]

Julio... The truth is, seeing how most comments here are preatty much asshole comments. Including your own. Some of these posts seeming half thought as if the person only skimmed the current posts, I don't believe this is the right place for me to have come. I had heard good things about this board, but now being here for this one topic and browsing some others, I feel those things were wrong.

You say that zip ties are a sign of " ghettoriged shit," but did you even bother to read the next part saying that I have to remake the brackets? Unfortantly, I don't have the most free time at the moment, most being late at night, where making a metal bracket and working on my car doesn't go over to well.

Out of every other site I've been on, and all the people I've met on the streets, none of them seem to even have one bad thing to say. The worst I've heard is that they don't like it. Not the shit I've received here in anyway, which leads me to believe only one thing of two things. Most people here have no idea what the hell they are talking about, or they don't have any common decency for their fellow man. It may even be both. But either way, I'm deleting my links to the board. Farewell, and have a good life, even if you are all a bunch of fucktards.

Magius, you are the exception to the above. You were able to say you didn't like it and continue posting with a sense of decency.

[Crazy Asian]

While your at might as well put Honda Prelude tailights and get a biggy fat can for you exhaust cuz there is no way in hell your gonna be able to pull off an exhaust like an Apexi or what not.

And for the rims you better step it up a big notch. Im mean not 20s but freakin deep rims and some extremely nice ones.

To me and everyone its rice but like what most ppl say to each its own.

So far you gonna be spending more money then just buying an RSX but hey whatever floats your boat.

[EJ_Allmota]

rice tastic

[£G2♣]

why would you do that?....id leave it stock

[HiPSI]

ZIP TIES is always a sign of ghettoriged shit.


kiss my ass, i love zipties.

[joesblk_teg]

Dont know what Im talking about he.. Ok...

Been there , done that.. I've been in your shoes man. Is not like im talking out of my ass.

You came on here and post pictures of your Civic... guess what , some people are going to be honest. I prefer honestly over bullshit.

I already done shit you trying to do TODAY. I quit showing 4 years ago!!

I had the convertion, Sick Paint, Big wheels, Big stereo, Big exhaust, Custom interior, engine dress up.. all the car show bullshit.. Shit.. If I still had my car today just like it was 3 or 4 years ago, I would still be HOT and competetive.

Oh and the stickers Were REAL sponsors.. Not 10, 20, 50 % of parts... FREE SHIT.

Stickers are ghey anyways...

has a piece of sand in his vagina.

[ATK_Designs]

Here are my opinions:

1. Style, the conversion idea is very nice. So far, looks like it's progressing well. You just need more time to finish it up.
2. What's missing: All that paul said (admin). Drop, better wheels, nicer exhaust.
3. The bumpers are a bit aggressive. IMO, it'd look better with stock rear + Lip. For the front, it'd be fauking hot if it's a mugen front.

As far as the other people that's bashing your car, don't give a shit about it. For all I know, many that talk trash are generally own stock or slightly modded car. Heck, I even saw a bunch driving run down car. It's the internet, don't sweat it, they can say all the want behind the computer.

Also, what Julio said may be a little to harsh, but he's speaking from experience. You post your thread, and criticism are to be expected.

Do what makes you feel better, just don't make it too extreme or aggressive. Goodluck.

[RBS]

personally i dont give a fuck about this nice soft emotional shit, you posted pics get ready for the flamage. shit is ugly hands down, end of story, way to waste all that money on a unaligned, primered piece of shit. theres so many ways to make a civic look nice and you found 1 of the top 10 ways for fucking one up. keep it clean and even if you do a headlight conversion, keep it clean want to primer it keep it clean, get the fucking moral of the story cleaniness dammit. theres a million civics to get ideas from if you dont want fucking opinions dont post pics dammit now, GET THE FUCK OUT......

That would've been a nice "work in progress" car back in '01

[R3RUN]

It's really hard to read your stuff, but you actually made a good point.

[sprix!]

Wow, it came out better than I thought. Not bad in the end. Why don't you just buy another wheel cover though? That will further improve the look for now.
