There are some different combinations with front end conversons like a Integra DC5 front conversion for Honda Civic EK - http://www.motorkitz.com/. But have never seen a DC5 frot on a DC2

omg...not this topic again!

unless they can prove or show you that it's done before, i wouldn't even bother consider doing this mod.
yes it is doable, but it will take alot of $$$ and time and your patients

Change DC2 front to look like DC5, why????
JDM DC2 yes but DC5 is just stupid, I think for price of such a kit you could upgrade DC2 to DC5 a have a real one...

Some pretty strange conversions in there. EK civic to s14 front...ugly...love the s15 front on the 180- though, looks hot. R34 front on a r32 is ugly as well...
