So i wrecked the accord last nite...

[slow87LX]

and I need a whole new front end (fenders, hood, bumper, grill, headlights, radiator, core support) but me and some friends are going to fix it. We decided to go all out and do something crazy like a front end conversion...any ideas? one friend of mine suggested a 90-93 integra front end and another thought maybe a 90-93 accord...i saw a 94+ integra front end on an accord but it didnt look right...too roundy for the boxy accord. Right now I'm just looking for ideas. Any suggestions?

damn wreckin sucks..but its good that ya gonna keep ye old accord..good luck wit ur conversion..

90-93 teg might look all right.

i was also thinking of making the front end conversion. I have taken some measurmentsand they all pretty much match perfect but there is some redrilling not to bad

90-93 teg front would be too roundish dont ya think. my opinion is to put a 90-93 front bumper mold to a 3g half..and do a headlight conversion of some type, unless you just love your flip-ups..

yea i say 2nd gen integra but if u wanna go flip ups still i love the way the 88-91 lude front end looks compared to our shit

if you went with the 3g lude front end, it would look better with sleepy eyes then the stock one would.

i bet with a little ingenuity you could get the 90-93 teg to work. its pretty close to the same shape as ours.

Were the measurements you took for a 90 teg?
The prelude is tight but im not sure if it would look right on a 4dr.
I was also thinking maybe using accord fenders, and modifying them for the integra lights and bumper..but then the hood and stuff might not line up right. I need to see if the hood of the teg is the same width, and also if the bumper is close.
Does anyone know where i could get a new core support for cheap? The junkyard wants like $150. I'm not a huge fan of the flip-ups..thats the whole reason I decided to try a conversion. :) Any other ideas?
All I know is that this core support BS is going to be a PITA. Pics coming soon..

[slow87LX]

does anyone know how much a shop would charge to get the old core support removed and a new one welded in? not including the price of parts(radiator core support and radiator)

[NXRacer]

it all depends on the shop thats one thing you're gonna have to shop around for.
