RSX Headlight conversion?

Is there an easy way to do this like headlight covers or a kit...

or am I going to have to go completely custom.. like grinding down the hood and bumper to make the actual lights fit in the good ol civic?

RSX Fenders, RSX Hood, RSX front bumper, and then, RSX Lights, plus probably RSX wiring... Don't really know, but thats what I read on this site before. Search a bit.

but then you wouldnt have a civic with a RSX conversion.

some people like to mod their cars versus buying a "better" one

....i plan to do the headlight conversion as well...just later down the road...im about to head to college on half baseball scholarship and just simply wont have the time....but when i do...im probably gonna go down to the body shop i used to work at and slap a tsunami front end on it....and do all the necessary fitting/body work...thats probably the cheaper way if you dont want the new hood, fenders, and front bumper, etc.

Couldt you just design a cover for the lower part of your current light and paint it to match your car.. then stick it on? I mean.. I am not going for the real lights.. I just want people to see me drive by and be like.. whoa! were those RSX headlights??



check it out.. it would be simple but what materials would I use?

if you can get your hands on some RSX headlights, the easiest way would be to make some measurments and cut/bondo accordingly.

there is a red del sol on cardomain webpage with the RSX headlights and it looks hot. I suggest you get the JDM black housing headlights, the ones that come with HID's.

I know what u talking bout. Just make some eyelids or eyebrows whatever and shape em like the RSX. Theres a guy here that did it. When u look at it they look like RSX headliaghts but up close u can see there just some stick ons. It looked good though.
