04-05 front end conversion - LOTS OF PIX!
 
To make a long story short...

Had an 01 civic, got into a fender bender, and did the 04-05 conversion...before all the questions start coming through, here is what i bought for the conversion:

04-05 projectors (cheaper than oem, and i needed them fast)
04-05 fenders
04-05 bumper
04-05 hood
04-05 rad support (not sure if this is the same as 01-03)
04-05 grill and emblem

it was pretty pricey so I wouldnt recommond doing it unless you get into and accident and have to replace the front end haha...anyways heres the pics

OH and no one bug me about the damn SI emblem... in Canada your EX is our SI for 01-05 models

cool

TheSmuggler 12-20-2006 05:03 PM

GD, I loved the old version so much :(

tricky 12-20-2006 05:06 PM

probably gonna sell it, thats why i thought i'd try it...plus if i do decide to keep i'll definetly do more to it...but more than likely i'll sell it or trade it in.

drew22mader 12-20-2006 05:07 PM

same here, but nice work though.

CiViCPrAnInG2k1 12-20-2006 05:07 PM

agree, in all honesty, i love the original front end better....

Alpha 5 12-20-2006 05:08 PM

Give me part numbers. I just hit a deer and would love to do this to mine. Don't worry I will let GEICO pay for it all. Did the parts just bolt right on or did you have to mod anything?

02BLKCIVIC 12-20-2006 05:15 PM

old one was better

Kajus 12-20-2006 05:18 PM

nice, i like the 01-03 front end though. 04-05 headlights are too elongated for me. but then again i guess im just getting tired of my car's look. lol

diskreet 12-20-2006 05:46 PM

That would be awesome with the 04-05 BC2 replica front!

Kevbotron 12-20-2006 05:50 PM

looks better, heres one vote for 04/05's

mr.rowdy 12-20-2006 05:52 PM

It looks nice man good work..

billiardini 12-20-2006 06:01 PM

kinda like the old look better.. could be the quality of the pics but none the less that old seems more aggressive

djrabbi 12-20-2006 06:21 PM

old > new..... looks clean still

estebomb_ftw 12-20-2006 06:24 PM

Old one was better, but you did a good job on conversion. :tup:

_unclejuice 12-20-2006 07:13 PM

nice work man. where did you pick up your projectors? i might try to do a 01-03 conversion on my 05. those first pics are damn sexy. dont know if it would have the same effect. mine is white.

K/Turbo 12-20-2006 07:14 PM

Nice conversion! :tup: If I had bought an 01-03 I would have done the same thing. I like both front ends but I like the 04-05 a little more.

If you sell or trade it in, what car are u thinking of buying?

myinca 12-20-2006 07:29 PM

looks good....what u did with ur side skirts? ill take them off ur hands

Suzy Q 12-20-2006 07:34 PM

wow, awesome job on the conversion. I myself have an 05, but to be honest i loved how your car looked. Always made me drool.
Btw, what did you do with your window visors? :rofl:
let me know when u wanna sell those g-games..

burke420 12-20-2006 07:35 PM

looks nice! i like. way to be diferent

goodtimes 12-20-2006 07:55 PM

looks good the only thing i dont like is the 04-05 projectors other than that is fine.

tricky 12-20-2006 07:57 PM

thanks for all the coments, I didnt do all the work I took off all the crap and my friend took of the old rad support which was welded in, then I took the car to a body shop to finish the rest...

as far as parts... I've long sold most of those parts

Personally i got sick of staring at the 01-03 front end, and i really like the way the 04-05 looks more aggresive, i think it has alot of potential to look sick, but anyways...

04TXtoys 12-20-2006 08:09 PM

good job man,looks great! :tup:

get OEM lights.... projectors dont make it look aggresive

dru106 12-20-2006 08:17 PM

it looked better before :(

1_SiK_CiViC 12-20-2006 08:29 PM

Yo, your 01-03 was so sexy. I agree with you though, it has a lot of potential. I think you should keep it and make it sexier than you old front end. Good job on the old and new.

dp_yz713 12-20-2006 08:46 PM

i like both looks..............i think the crappy pics turn people off of the new look too

Civicman1988 12-20-2006 08:52 PM

looks nice but still like the old
