To be brutally honest, all of these mix-n-match bodywork specials look awful.
The OEM front end suited that Civic beautifully; this thing looks like Frankenstein.
and the oem front end is ugly as hell... probably why the body style only lasted 3 years as opposed to the body style of the integra front end i have which lasted from 94-00. your out of ur tree if anybody thinks that this front end swap wont look amazing when its done.

i think it'll look descent with a nice paint job. but i think u have to do more to that front end since you're already doing custom body work. I give you props for the effort though.:thumbup:
btw: the civic front end looks much better than the teg.:db:

I've seen it done before, but the guy that did it had the CL front end conversion front (the "cali-type-r" front). But this is back when conversions were all the craze.

The work was clean, but it just didn't fit (the lines of the front end did not coordinate well with the lines of the rest of the car). He eventually switched to the OEM integra front (like what you have now) and I think it looked better.

Haven't seen the car in a while, so I'm not sure if he's still rocking the USDM teggy front or he eventually switched to the OE JDM teggy front.

I'll admit, it does catch your eye on the road if it's done right and if the work is clean. I just can't really justify the cost for it. The cost for sourcing the JDM front end parts were pretty costly (back then), then the labor of getting to fit as well as the cost for paint/labor on top of that.
