Did somebody say RSX HEADLIGHT CONVERSION? (pics)

So, many of the members here have been raving about whether a RSX headlight converion will work on our cars, and how much modification is needed...

Well a long time friend, that I haven't talked to in over a year, hits me up last night and updates me on his car. He then says his teammate has an RSX headlight conversion, so of course I say "I GOTTA SEE THIS!" At first I questioned whether it was photoshopped or not, but he says its definitely legit! So since he's my friend, I have to take his word on it...

So, what is needed?

RSX Headlights
RSX Hood
RSX Front Bumper
RSX Fenders

What do you guys think? or ?

I mean it would be cool to have the K20 Engine up in there with this front... But I wouldn't go through so much modification and money just on a front bumper.... I guess when you have money coming outta ur @$$, anything is possible...

i'd be down to do that. but NOT with that ugly *** octane front bumper. i'd rather use some other front or just the base RSX front. but yeah, i wonder how much that costs, and are the RSX parts just basic bolt-ons? hm...

about 300-500 for headlights, 300 for hood, 300 for fenders painted, and front bumper 300. ouchhh. basically lookin at about 1500? jeezus. but if i had the money, i'd do it, lol.

I can't really tell you, since I didn't do it... The guy said that it wasn't as bad as you'd think... With all the parts you have to buy, I'm sure most of it is shaving down parts of the hood or fenders in order for it to fit our cars...

Think abou Integras. The Integs that do the Japanese Type-R headlight conversion on their cars... This is basically the same concept.

i like that a lot... but so many factors come into play... it looks like there's a lot of wheel gap in the front tire, maybe its just the picture, but you would have to put a kit that they make for the RSX and for our vics.... just too much work, i'm out

yeah there is a noticable wheel gap in the front because the rsx is slightly longer than the vic and the front doesn't match the style of the rest of the car..... Looks nice from the front, but the side looks ****ed up. Not worth it, just get an rsx.

first off it looks so photo-choped if u look closely enuff. i would have to see it in person, and second if it is real and im not saying it can't be done. cuzz anything can be done if u have the money, but if it is real thats the BIGEST waste of money IMO. i am now sick to my stomach! to think that someone would think that looks good well then again the guy's got freaking altzcrap light's in the rear, and freaking cheese graters on his front fender's THIS car is the true meaning of RICE! it should be on a uncle bens comercial or something, but to each his own. but yea someone please tell that guy to put his car back to stock or something. once again

noooot bad, pretty damn clean actually. but personally i'd stay away from any headlight conversions that don't originally belong on whatever car it is (JDM Conversions )
