04 conversion?
does anyone know if a 01 civic front end can be, has been, will be converted into the 04 front end? I like the new front end so much better than my 01 font. To be honest i think my front end sucks. If a conversion is availible please let me know asap.
I repeat, 01 front end sucks. want conversion NOW. stupid honda eggheads didnt design it earlier....

Rep Power: 396 I went a looked at the car at the dealership. I like the look of it. Nice. Now I cant decide if I want the 7 Spoke Si rims or the 5 spokes. But the front end would be expensive. New fenders, headlights, and hood. I like my 7th gen, so im not trading because cars cost too much. It might be better off to get just trade it in, you get the cool interior. That my two cents.

Rep Power: 372 The '03 and '04 interiors are the same.
As for the front end... i'm sure it can be done. You'll need everything though... headlights, wires for the headlight, front bumepr, fenders, and hood. Not to mention a lot of little things like clips and screws.

i figured you'd just need the fenders, hood, front bumper cover, headlights, and all bolts/clips that hold it all together

yes, you would need the 04 harness......the conversion of the front-end is not worth the money imo...if you really like it that bad, go trade up for the 04.
Yup, i'm an A$$hole.

Rep Power: 330 The 04 uses dual beam lights....as in, 2 different bulbs...one for your highbeam, one for your low beam. So in addition to the new wiring, you would probably need to do some sort of chip for the computer, since it probably reads the switch on the steering wheel differently now. Plus the fenders, hood, lights, and all the other assorted items, as well as painting...I would guess around $6,000 for a conversion.

Rep Power: 0 I personally think you should see if the 04's qtr panels will fit up, If so you will then have to see if there is clearance for the headlights without damaging the front cross brace where the headlights are now mounted. That may be tricky because the new headlights kinda wrap around the qtr panel. Then look at the wiring for the headlights. Chances are someone can pin you a harness that will convert it and pin into another power source. Finally the bumper fittment, which I think will not be that bad, but don't quote me. Good conversion but for the money I agree, the RSX conversion would be sicker. Also I know the rsx lights fit with no cutting of the front support brace. Either way be patient and take your time. Best of luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
