It will cost just as much to convert you 3g to a 90-93 as it would to go out and buy one. This question has been asked plenty of times before so just search and im sure you will find something about it.

Please do not type in all caps. It is considered the same thing as yelling and is very annoying to read. Use the search function and check the stickies at the top of the section you are posting in before you ask somthing that may have already been answered. If you really want the 4g front end just go out and buy a 4g, not only will save you money on the front end swap but you'll get a car that an h22 will drop into alot easier.

This has been something that's been sought after to do by many 3G owners. I as well love the styling of the 4th Gen Accords. Takes a lot of custom work. Really not worth it, but if you can do it, why not.

do an engine swap insted that will give you better performance than some 4g front end

Why not just get a JDM (or EDM maybe?) 3g front end instead? MOSTLY straight bolt on conversion.

I think ya might have to cut/weld something to the radiator core support area to mount the fixed headlight assembly, but still less custom work than modifying both fenders, doors, the hood (bonnet), grill, and bumper.

Sorta like thegreatdane's 87 2.0i-16

If the only reason you want to do a whole front end swap is because of the head lights or because there are more parts out for it, then just go buy a 90-93 accord. The fact that there isn't a lot of parts made for these cars, its the only generation accord to have pop-up headlights, and that they are unique is the reason a lot of us like the cars so much. Almost anything you do to the car will be custom which means the more creative you are the better of a car you will have. If you want a car that has a lot of direct bolt-on parts made then get a 4g or a civic, if you want to be unique and have a car that isn't exactly the same as someone elses then keep the 3g and start doing some custom work.

an easier conversion is the 90-93 teg front end i have actually seen it in person the bad thing is if you shave the emblems and swap in a b18 as the one my friend has is you cant tell its a 3g at all so is it worth losing the cars identity i dont know but i'm about to do the front end a leave the emblem to get that huh what is that effect out of people. sorry i cant get pics of it which sucks he moved to washington and we lost touch
