Acura RSX Headlight (conversion) Do You Think This Will Work

What's up guy's...i've been comming to this site for 2 years now.I know that i just joined it ......and it's about time .Well anyways here i go.........OK This is what i want to know about the RSX light conversion.I've been looking into doing this for some time now. I know that the bolts on the top of the radiator support in the front are the same,but want about on the fender side? I also see that the headlights on the RSX are cut more down on the top side of the light and the civic's lights are cut more strait across. You know how the RSX's lights are pointed more down .The the cut's look different on the civic. So i was looking at what i think would work.......What do you think about the hood ? If you use the front bumper in the conversion the body lines on the hood of the civic's are different. If you was the hood the body lines for the bumper and lights would match . I'm jsut wondering if the hood will fit.........It looks like it will ,but I'm know really sure about it.Maybe someone help look into it for me or with me.........Last thing .......What about the lights ....The hi lo beam......i'm not really down with hacking up my s**t to make things work.......can someone tell me what i might need to do it........i've got the lights.......what else?

the hood might fit but itll be hell cuz your gonna have to cut it up. Your not looking at a simple conversion.

What if you bought an RSX hood and front bumper? The RSX hood should mount in the same exact place as our stock hood. You might have to move where the hood latches to the chassis, but I don't think it would be too much work. If only I had a friend who had an RSX that would let me take his apart and thry to fit the parts on my car...

After seeing the Polk/MOMO ad myself, Ive been wondering about this conversion latley too...I think the best bet would be to get RSX hood, bumper and fenders. You could probably get away with cutting your Civic hood and fender to fit and could probably find a used RSX bumper from someone who just put a kit on their RSX (www.clubrsx.com)

Acura RSX Headlight (conversion) Do You Think This Will Work

any conversion is possible and will look pretty good just remind your self that the inside(under hood) will probably look like trash ie acura integra conversion to JDM
