CSX/JDM CIVIC conversion for Civic Coupe.. Is it possible?

jbsali · 03-06-2008, 08:23 PM

Just wanted to know if this is possible with just replacing the fenders,hood, headlights and front bumper. Or do you have to cut and custom fabricate?
What would you guys think of this if you saw it on the street? Hot or Not?

Let's see here. Have you seen ONE FG with a FD front end on 8thcivic? Have you ever wondered why that is? Maybe because you won't be able to do it without some sort of modification. It's not an easy parts swap kind of thing.

Short answer: NO. You won't be able to do it without modifying something.

si_turbo did a photoshop of it somewhere on the 8th. Go find it.

Sh*t no need to be so blunt! Maybe no one has attempted it! Anyway, any other info or opinions on the look of it?

the fenders would need to be custom fabricated a little. you'd need to use part of the coupe and part of the CSX/JDM fenders and splice and weld them together to to fit. the hood, bumper and headlights should be bolt on for the most part, well not really but its easier than doing up the fenders.

You can do anything with the right amount of $. There just comes a time when cost outweighs necessity/want. I think that if some company made a kit to do it, fenders, hood and lights would make a killing on it.
