attempting fd3s kit on FC3S. HELP!
 

my rx is fast enough for me and i want to make it look alot better than those small corksport kits, so..... i am going to try a fd3s kit conversion(just front and sides). i won't change the lights or fenders just add fiberglass and cut fiberglass as neccessary. IF ANYONE HAS ATTEMPTED THIS, LET ME KNOW OR IF YOU HAVE INSIGHT, FILL ME IN!!! i think i will be using the cwest style kit, if that makes a difference. i'm real damn good at fabrication, but how far does my skill go? i dunno. any help will be nice. thanks for your advise! i'm gonna need it.:eek: -nathan-

Its been done. But I believe they changed the fenders as well. I used to have a pic. Its a purple FC.

I have it and I don't think they did the FD sides...

that is F*ing AWESOME!!!! DETAILS!!!! WHO, What, how, what did they use?

thats damned sexy.!!!!

Look at that car closly. The fenders arent stock, its like a FD front end to a FC firewall back

tru that. there's been mad ass work done on that bih! they swapped headlights and all! i beleive you can cut and modify a fd front peice to fit NICELY without changin all that though.

good luck.... hope you have lots of time and money

Don't take this to hard but an FC is a FC if you want to make it look like an FD then you should have gotten a FD.

i dont neccessarily want an fd, it's just that the kits for the fc are weak as hell. they just look so plain. i want it to be original and clean, not ghetto-gangsta like those civics with accord front ends. i was also thinkin that i might grip one of those type II style fc fronts and maybe only have to worry about the cwest side. cuz i aint skeerd of the side skirts.

like this front with the fd c-west side. yes/no?

here are the sides.

You can buy that front from corksport.com

Its made for the FC

you don't like this kit....

HELL YEAH DUDE!!! that bitch is Bad-ass, but i was told that it was discontinued????????

It is much easier to fit a front(bodykit airdam) from a 94up Integra. Believe it or not the dimensions are closer to a FC than an FD front is. There ARE some nice fronts for Integras.

Yeah I believe so. :( I get what your saying though alot of the kits for the FC are ghey.What do you think of this one?

i've seen that mf-er too, but no-one sells that biznite either.......(sigh). :-(

they still make and sell them in japan. they just aren't bringing them over here anymore. I'm sure you could ship one over yourself or find some still over here.

prolly....but what about that orange one??? some bih told me that some molds for the 86-91 were destroyed in a fire.(cork sport.com)........DOUBT IT!

What kit is that? That is stinking amazing.

Mariah's stuff you either love, or you hate:

Either way, you have to admit FCs look pretty sick with 315s in the rear:

Used to love Mariah when I first found out about them. Now everything looks ghey except GPSports. The pic of the orange car ain't so bad. prolly cause it looks similar to the GPSports kit.

Am I the only one that thinks that the purple FC looks like shit?
The front and back look ilke they are from 2 different cars (duh) bu there is no cohesion... the back is angular and sharp, and the font os curvy and bulbous...
Looks like shit IMO. They both look great independantly, but just not together. Like brushing your teeth and drinking OJ.

The orange one is nice, it's sersiously slammed though.

yeah, like dude said earlier, it looks like an fd from the firewall up and a fc from the firewall back. but big up to the people who did it, cuz it is a money-ass job. The camber on the orange one is a tiny bit rough but the body kit is bad with a capital B!

the purple car is cool with the fact that someone is trying something new and it came out good. The only way in my opinion that justifys a killer body kit is a killer motor setup. If you put that purple car with a 150hp na motor then yes its a piece of shit. But if it has a 400hp to back it up then its bad.

oh yeah the moral of the story is don't spend 6k in the body department of the car because you will look stupid getting you ass handed to you at the lights by most cars on the market today

all the fc's that were posted looked great ,, i like the orange race one and the black widebody one .. looking hot!!

THE KIT IS NOT DISCONTINUED!

from what i've read, just the american distributor sold out, but you can still get it from Japan if you wish

could you tell me from who in Japan? that's great that there's still some out there. =less fabrication for me! oh, and as for the hp not being able to back it up, i won't brag and shit, all i have to say is $8,000 in motor work and T66. ;-)

The M sports kits can be bought at www.i-m-racing.com, its 2500 american for the whole setup, front, back, side skirts and over fenders. I'm saving up for it right now

didn't work....www.i-m-racing.com

Looks like crap to me as well. All body kits suck. :)

FC3S to FD3S front end conversion
 

FC.DS?

I like it, but there are too different styles going on, the rear boxyness of the fc3s and the curvy lines of the FD. The BN Sports kit was a good choice to make the car a little more curvy. I think it would look better with the RE Fd3s hood , sides and front bumper, with some kind of wide rear fenders.
