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. -nathan-

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.

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.

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.

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.
