I sorta thought about doing that. It would look nice IMO, but it might not match the rear. Still pretty nice nonetheless

i think it would look good.....probably take quite a bit of moding tho...

would look even better if you do a full front conversion and get the headlights too

Our civics look way better than RSXs... only thing i'd ever want from one is the interior, engine, or suspension. Maybe a front bumper or something but i'd never want the lights. If thats MugenRacerX's car in his members rides section then i'd leave the exterior alone.. it looks so clean

There actually was a member that did a photochop of an RSX front end and it didn't look right at all. It didn't match the lines that the Civic has. Was disgusting. I can't remember who that member was, but it's in his Member's Ride somewhere.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT TOO........SINCE WE SHARE THE SAME CHASIS I DONT SEE WHY NOT.....THE FRONT AND LIGHTS WOULD FIT NICE....THE ONLY TROUBLE I SEE IS WHERE THE FENDERS MEET THE WINDSHEILD AND DOOR...MIGHT HAVE TO MOD THE FENDER A BIT AND ALSO THE HOOD. MIGHT HAVE TO USE THE CIVIC HOOD WITH THE RSX BOTTOM WHERE IT MEETS BETWEEN THE HEADLIGHTS. I THINK IT WOULD BE PHAT GET A NICE RSX FRONT WITH 7TH GEN SIDES AND REAR...SICK! LEMME KNOW IF U FIND OUT N E THING.
