i have an 04 two door, my brother came by this weekend with his 05 rsx and i thought since honda makes parts interchangable is is possible to slap a front end of an rsx on my car, thats the bumper, lights, fenders, and hood. you think? might look spiffy

(rice) yey or ney?

ney, i dont think it would look spiffy. either go civic or go rsx, dont mix it.

also. ive been looking all over for a new grill for my car, just a basic black mesh without the symbol, but i just come up with 00-03 for my car, will that fit on my car anyway even know they changed the front lights slightly?

01-03 grills will not fit 04-05.

i think its been done by a member here?

looks nice if you know what your doing, but not worth the money and/or labor. because someone has already done it, it wouldnt be as fun cause you wont be the first one to attempt it.

it wont be direct bolts n nuts, gonna have to custom fab and whatnot. IMO your better off spending those thousands of dollars on a swap or boosting. or if your about looks, some sexy exterior parts (wheels/kit/etc)

na im not into looks at all but it came to me when my brother was here, id rather have the stock oem bumpers with a slight drop, 17's and a nice front mount, im comming from an evo, and the civic has body roll up the ***, and its soooo slow, i feel like im goin to die when i merge onto the highway, anyway. what do i do about the grill, i hate that huge H.

^they sell aftermarket grills without H. check around ebay and vendor sites

is that on the 04+, maybe its my computer but the lights look more like the other models( 03-), or is that the missing pic thing but you are giving me an example. i was just thinking of taking the stock grill off and leaving a gap, if i did that would some of the elapsed bumper be there? or is it a clean finish? i have yet to explore the car im kinda agianst doing anything becuase its just so damn slow. haha. ok ill check out the links , thanks.

to my knowledge theres no aftermarket grills for the 04+ years.

as for your performance needs, i suggest you read around on the 'forced induction & swap' forum. don't bother with bolt-ons

 
Rep Power: 0

yea im not goin to bother with any bolt ons there is really no piont i think,comming from a 12 sec car all the bolts on in the world will just make it sound like a fart. id love to slap a k20 in it but i do like my 100k mile warrenty. i was thinking of just a regular kit for the sohc for now just so i can feel better with the traffic around town and the highway, well see. il just read more into it.

thats look hideous! i ment the 05 conversion but who would convert that, then stick a ghey bumper on it. ive changed my mind.

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah.. i dont understand why people would change parts that reflects another car. I would go clean with the modification or go with higher end kits. Mugen kits are the best for hondas. They've been tested to give performance enhencement in the wind tunnel.

^but you forgot to mention that mugen doesn't make any parts for the em/es civic. nor does spoon.

prototype has a rsx conversion on his 2001 coupe.
they used his stock fenders and hood, and a fiberglass bumper made for the 01 civic and just cut and fit the headlights.
