    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    << 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
