Anything is possible with the right amount of talent, and more importantly, money.

i think the best front end conversion anyone has done on a CL would be that orange CL with the silvia S15 front conversion.

Complete conversions suck. If you want an Accord front end, then buy an Accord

That's not even a front end conversion, just a headlight conversion anyway

i wouldn't recommend it unless u have a shit ton of know how or ur gonna pay a shop to do it because i was gonna go all out and do an accord front end conversion but its way to much of a pain in the ass to do because in order for the headlights to fit you have to make your own brackets or just do a whole new core support, you have to make a custom bracket for the bumper to fit, you have to buy accord hood and grille and fenders, you have to cut the ends of the fenders off and match them up to the cl fenders in order to fit the accord headlights right. i mean its just a freaking crazy amount of work and im not even quite sure how the hood will fit in between the cl fenders, i never got that far

Haha, naw, I got my wing a couple of months ago. I am probably the only one ghetto enough to drill the holes in the trunk for the wing with a dremel and make it look pro.

I was refering to stock vs stock. I'm also talking about the earlier model accorsd like 90-2007, the new front ends blows ours away, especially the 2 door

im talking about the early models too. i think they look nicer. especially the 94-97. they look more agressive for some reason.

Meh, I like the rounded front end of our cars, just wish there were more options than the WW lip

It looks more aggressive. The only other thing i hate about our cars is the trunk, its waaay low and the rear window is huge

I always thought the WW Lip kinda made it look a little like an Integra.

Definately. I think the wagon rear or any rear rounds it out pretty nicely though.

From certain angles it looks great, but from others..ugh
The spoiler does help though.

I dunno, maybe it's cuz I've done several different looks on my front end, but I never get sick of looking at the front or rear of our cars, I just love the body lines that much, smoother and more curves than accords, their headlights and tail lights are so box compared to the CL's

i really think that if you do the front end that you have to do the rest of the body. i think it was mentioned here in the thread already that even if you do the front end properly it still wouldnt match up with the rest of the car.

how do you guys feel about wide body first gens? i really dont like it imo but i dunno
