But in the end, it's your car so do what you like :thumb:

when i was first thinking about doing a front conversion i was thinking about the JDM integra front....

but even that extends the front too far and makes it too square in the front.

i think if your going to do any kind of front conversion to your 92-95 EG, going with a 96-00 EG front looks the best....

but really it all comes down to whatever you want to do with your own car. it dosnt matter what other people are going to think, go with whatever makes you happy. :thumb: [/img]

I think these look the best if you were going to convert it to anything, but why would you change the already perfect front end that comes on the EG?

There is no such thing as a 96-00 EG as the EG only applies to 92-95 vehicles. If it is 96-00 then that is considered an EK :thumb:
