What Front Conversion Can We Do To Are 7thgen?

I want to do a front conversion to my 7thgen coupe but besides the rsx and the is300 front what else can we do? Do you think a supra front would look good on our cars?

Im thinking you could make an 04 - 05 civic sedan look like an Evo. If you take the outer end of the headlights (where the turn signal is) and make it square instead of that cat eye look since the Lancer Evos kind of have rectangular headlights. Then take out the taillight component on the trunk of the car (not the part on the outer panel). Put some O.Z. Rally rims and a big rectangular spoiler on that bitch and you'd have a knock-off EVO. What do you think?

or you could go buy an evo or a supra lol. IDK why copying something is original??? To each is own but its like buying a mustang and putting a corvette rear end on it, WHY??? hehe I guess I just dont get it.

Anything is possible if you have money... and lots of it. Now as far as it looking good??? If it is done right and at the right style... yeah it will look good. And as far as the Supra thing... IMO I say go for it. It's not my car it's yours. Good Luck with that.

the 7th gens have seen RSX conversions before. headlight conversions to RSX have been done for sure.

but if you dont want that then I would suggest something like a tc or G35?

I have seen a chevy truck(newer) with a lexass front end on it.....uhhhhmmmmmmm yea I would say imo that front end conversions should only be done if a front end of a car looks like poop. Like my old ford I sold had a better front than a 78 so if I had a 78 I would swap it to a 73. In any case the front end of the 7th gen I think looks very good especially lowered. The 6th gen's imo look like they need a swap of some kind but not us. The only thing I would say is a must is some tyc's and hid and some lip of some sort would be siiiick.

I was trying to get parts for that last summer, it was a bitch. I got some headlights off ebay but the bumper alone costs 400, and the fenders and hood cost too. Then I didnt know if i had to get a differend radiator support or whatever. So i said fick it, I'll get a trubo instead.

Red X

The EL looks good. I think it looks like the civic front end, if the civic was pissed off, imo.
