I've seen one done. IMO, it really doesn't seem to flow well with the lines of the CRX. But if you are set on doing it then no one will stop you. Since not many have been done, your best bet is to find someone who has done it that can tell you what you need and how. I don't think anyone here has done that one.

I would like to see an EG Civic coupe, or hatch, front end conversion. I think it would be a cleaner look than any other hybrid-type front end conversions.

the eg front end would look nice on a crx.

One conversion that I actually like is the 92-95 civic front on a delsol.

To fullfill my curiosity, I had a little Photoshop fun to see what an EG Civic Coupe frontend conversion would look like on an EF CRX.



The idea looks IMO, but might be tough to pull off in reality. The EG fenders don't have that sharp line like the CRX. The only way I could possibly see this conversion working is using EG Civic Coupe front bumper, hood and headlights. Then, using modified CRX fenders to accomodate the bumper and turn signals. Lastly, installing West Wings sideskirts, doorcaps, and rear bumper to best flow with the lines of the front bumper as possible. I only see a couple of colors being able to pull this off; white(as shown), black, and medium to dark blue.

The Pchop was a challenge, but hope you all enjoy it.
