Rep Power: 352 prolly close to 1500 for parts then the labor to install it. It looks OK. I thought about it at one time but for that kinda cash i could have found better things to spend my money on.

Rep Power: 0 I think he should get the whole car repainted myself. I have to give him props for doing such a crazy modification. It gives him a huge advantage in car shows. He needs to go with a crazy color like pearl red or graphite. Something out of the ordinary. It's kind of like when people do skyline tailights or supra tailights into a civic. Strange and expensive, but it stands out.
If he's a regular joe, he probably spend a grip of cash, but is thinking of all show and no go. He'll get a lot of attention, and possibly sponsors later on if he takes that route. The crazy in this business get recognized, and if they do it well, the sponsors will support their craziness.

Rep Power: 0 1st: the fender is a civic fender, not an RSX one. Look at the wheel arches. It means custom work to fit the RSX headlights. Don't know about all the other stuff. Not worth the expense, IMO

Rep Power: 0 hmm.. so we have some that like it, sme that kinda do, and some that don't...
Personally, it would definitely look better if his car was painted (I like black). I give him MADD props and salute to him for going through all this work. Definitely a show stopper though...

Rep Power: 316 dj02 the car was not made in photoshop pics are not fake. How can prove it? I cant...But if u want to take some vacation time come down to Massachussets and ill be glad 2 give u a tour around the car. My boys car sat 4 a long time (3 long months) awaiting parts, planning and all of that **** (some conversions take longer) at the shop and still with that time when they finished he wasnt happy with it because of all the little detais that were f#@ked up. As im reading through this forum i see that almost everyone that replyed saw all of those little details that are F#$ked up. As for the paint, when i took these pics the car was under direct bright sunlight the color the camera piked up was its stock color SILVER. In reality the car was painted with a blue pearl over the silver stock color and it gave it a light greenish bluish look it changes color depending on where your standing or what shadows it. I think its awesome you just have to see it 4 yourself i never seen nothing like it yet, its very diffrent from whats out there. I mean to all the carshows we entered here in da east this year no other car matched his color, again "that ive seen". But anyway thanks to all that replyed to this forum all imput is allways good. I promise that ill take some picks of his car in better lighting condition so you can all see what i mean about the color. Ill call him 2morow and well get it done. Ill take some extra pics so you can see his interior also. Another thing some said somethig about money coming out of the a$$. U got that wrong bro, working in a SUB SHOP is not going to get ur car like this from one day to the other. It involves a lot of sweat, saving and time and all were going after is a miserable trophy. Just wanted to set things staight thats all. Be on the lookout for the new pics in a couple of days, may b 2morrow. Yo SID thanks for posting the pics bro. one

No prob about posting the pics. You should post some pics of your car... That would get some good feedback. Anyway, talk to you later bro...

Rep Power: 0 Conversion job = good. All you photochop "experts" cannot tell from that pic if its a photochop. Especially if its a low compression jpeg.
Overall looks? Not liking it. Maybe if it had a K20 I'd understand, but for a car to look like an RSX and perform like a civic's not something to boast about. It's like doing a Ferrari conversion to a Fiero.
