the think the civic hatch w/ IS300 rear could be hot if they didn't have that bumper.

why do pple do conversions? cuz it "Outrageous". I like conversions if the person does it right. nothing wrong with it. its different. 240sx-> S14=nice, integra-> jdm type r=nice, 92 hatch->99 front=nice. conversions are nice.

Sweet steering wheel red accord.

I hate it when they do a custom glass dash than the rest of the interior is stock. Also, it looks like that accord has screens in the front of his front seats.

exactly my point bro... with that kinda money, they could have done so much more... not worth it. Whats the point of doing IS fronts and whatever tails...? Doesn't make any difference except the car looks disproportioned and wierd. I'd rather just buy an IS instead of putting so much money and effort into making a car that looks like a cake.

Problem with most conversions is bodyshops almost never use a designer to first draw what will be done, they just go nuts from one end to the other.....making it up as they go.....thats how you end up with the dash the red accord has........all the gauges look like they face sraight up and you would see nothing but glare.

I personally love and admire conversions...AS LONG AS ITS DONE WITH TASTE. For all you out there that wonder why they don't use the money they drop to buy the car they really want.....it's called being unique. Sure they could straight out buy an IS as opposed to doing the conversion on a civic, but that IS would be just any IS. Doing the IS conversion onto a civic, and you have one unique civic. I'm hoping to do a conversion one day, but I have some goals that I've set for myself to accomplish with my car before taking it to the next phase and doing conversions. Here's some conversions that were done in So Cal that I think are really nice.

I personally think its just plain old rice to try to make your civic a luxury car look-a-like. The only one that looks good is the yellow car with the S2000 tail lights.. the rest sucks IMO.

i still hate conversions though.. waste of money. I also hate the fact that Honda owners do conversions the most, specially retarded ones. Just totals a perfectly fine car.
