Should I do an '01-03 front-end conversion? Well...it doesn't seem like manufacturers are gonna produce anything really good for the '04-05 Vics...so I am thinkin about doin an '01-03 front-end conversion. Here is a list of what I think I would need / use:
1. Front bumper - Tsunami '01-03 front bumper
2. Front fenders - TBD '01-03 vented fenders
3. Hood - Seibon '01-03 EVO or VIS '01-03 G-Force
4. Headlights - 01-03 OEM
What do you guys think?

i actually wanted to do a 03 conversion to my 04, that or a rsx conversion.
I liked the 04-05 front at first... but I have grown to hate it.

Rep Power: 294 Why not look into a 99-00 front lip? As it is said to fit from another thread - http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=226368
I actually prefer the 04/05 front look over an 01-03, but honestly, its your car.. do what you want.
(But at this point I'd start asking why the hell did you buy a 04/05 - especially since you swapped out as well.. )

Rep Power: 258 04-05 does look so much better than 01-03 IMO....of course...that's why I bought an 04........don't do a full conversion...just modify the kit to fit the shape of the front end. if you bought the car, you must've liked the way it looked, so why change that? I'm willing to wait for whatever comes out for my car
I think you would also need to replace the radiator support or the headlights wouldn't fit. But replacing the radiator support is REALLLLLLY not recommended, and it's an *** to take off the spot welds.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for all your comments guys. Really, I have no idea what I will end up doing. I certainly aint doin anything soon. I got better things to spend money on, like boost! I am just upset that nobody has come out with anything decent for the '04-05s, and chances are they wont seeing as how the '06s are gettin ready to come out.
I'm just frustrated.

I think you should wait for the kits, but if you want to do the conversion, i would be voting for the rsx conversion because the front ends are nice and because there are a lot of choices of headlights and bumpers and fenders...IMO
