for experianced bodyman only... the integra hood will fit between the fenders and bolts right up, but I think some of the underside webbing has to be trimmed to clear the wiper cowl. The crx fenders are really close to the contours of the integra facia, they need to be cut leaving 1/8" extra to be rolled under to give a factory appearance, this will also put some strength back into the fender. it will be very flimsy after you cut it, new reinforcements will also need to be added from the backside since the original front fender bracket will be gone. To mount the front bumper you have to either remove the factory upper portion of the core support and replace it with the 94-01 integra upper core support (not a bolt on part, must be welded in) or the original CRX core support can be adapted to hang the integra bumper cover. A lot of people hate on this conversion... call me ricey but I think it looks pretty ill

If I knew how I would do it sence I got a JDM XSi front end siting in my yard...

what year integra? if its 94+ it wont look right. CRX's are boxy cars, put a smooth front end on it and imo, it wont flow right.

however, a DA front end would look pretty clean. i think there is a pic of a hatch with a DA front on here

-edit-
