Don't do it. EGs were meant to look like EGs and DC2s were meant to look like DC2s. Unless you're going to be doing it for a show car or something, don't waste your time.

A brain is required, so you would know better than to actually do it.

i've seen it before, doesn't look too bad. i like the 99-00 civic conversion on the eg better.

There was a car in the for sale fourms a while back where someone tried to do it, even though it turned into a pile of bondo, the main points of the conversion still looked terrible, you're probably just getting yourself into something you will one day regret.

completely agreed. the sound or idea "hey wonder if it would be kewl to have a DC front end on an EG.... in your mind you assume this can be done cleanly... but when it comes to actually doing it... fittment is usually shitty. bondo bondo bondo... all over the place... and just it's a big mess and not even worth getting into....
