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.

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.
