i believe there's a lot of cutting involved. new core support, custom fenders, some other stuff. the ones i've seen didn't look too bad, but the front end sits lower for some reason. like with a body kit you can't have the car lowered or it sits on the ground.

do it it looks tight, and is easy. get a 9295 civic core support, hood, fenders, bumper, lights, maybe a radiator unless you can figure something out how to get yoru stock on in there.place the hood where the old hood used to be. then drill out spot welds on stock core support, weld in new support so it will latch with the hood. then take both your fenders and cut them in half, well cut maybe 1/3 off the front part, and cut enough of the civic fender to make a full fender (overlap!), put yoru headlights on and corners, and line up the cut 9295 fender on the stock fender and weld it together or staple it or something. then use body filler and make it nice and smooth. thas it.
