hey this may be a stupid question but i was wonderin if anyone tried or looked at putting an accord front end on the cl, I know ill get alot of compliments sayin the front end makes the cl or that ur just ruining the car but i was just wonderin, I use to own a 1990 prelude with the pop up headlights and alot of ppl were tryin the integra front end didnt match up well but it looked pretty sick, if anyone has information about it or anythin and plz dont start makin bad comments about it just wanna maybe try somthing different and set my cl a lil more apart than everyone elses

Why make bad comments when you can make bad compliments!


whatever makes you happy man. I've never seen it before, I don't think it would look too nice. Have someone photoshop it for you...

Accord front ends look too similar IMO. If you're going to try a front end conversion, I'd pick something that looks completely different.

Germ

the body style of our car is classic. why would you want to butcher it.

but then again. jammer is right. they look too similar

incredulous1

evo front end ftw?

*BAY*CL

How about putting G35 headlights

^^^ x2 lol

the g35 headlight conversion has been done a member from here found some pics of it and posted it if your going for originality maybe a tsx-rsx-tl- front end something nice but aggressive at the same time

G35 front end coversion= EPIC FAIL

ive already posted a picture with a cl with the accord front bumper. looked like shit.

*BAY*CL

haha i was kidding, the only clean front end conversion i've seen would have to be the s15, don't know if anyone has pics of it but i remember seeing it on the forum a while back

SupraManAG

If you're looking for an s15 CL, here's something you may find interesting...

I saw this car at the HIN Chicago show... It's pretty sweet...

Dicorp

don't do any front end swaps please, they're all hideous. do a lip kit if you want, but thats the extent of body mods that works for the first gen CL.

davzilla

by interesting did you mean a clean execution of a bad idea?

the problem with the accord conversion is that i'm pretty sure you have to use the V6 front end, which leaves you with very few front bumper and lip options again.

I kinda like the s-15 conversion...it looks 1000x better than the g35 conversion.

Accord front ends look like unless you do a custom fit body kit

s15 looks good for a show car minus the grills

I was so close to doing the silvia swap, but couldn't find a good deal on a set of them for a retro, always liked the look

Haha, I've been trying to keep away from the forums so you guys could stop getting me to buy stuff! But after I saw updated pics of Carson's ride, I'm back for good..
:gheyhug:
But I've mostly been away because of High school, dual credit courses, job, family troubles in El Paso.. Times have been rough. But now the I FINALY got a good job with good pay and flexable hours, I plan on getting back on my project. (carson's CL but green, with your wheels, lower drop, and rockblocker tints. )

edit: Ah! Just remembered about my latest mod. The aux adapter in the Bose system. I still gotta write the DIY when I get the chance.

What have you been up to?

ckrowland

lol my cars that good eh?

u think the pics look good, just wait till you get to see it in person lol

Damn you Texans stealin' my wheelins... Too bad I dont live closer, we could all have a :gheyhug: meet with the same wheels on once ninja gets his..

I'm getting rockblocker soon and putting on my factory wing.. so our car will pretty much be twins with different ethnic backgrounds.

ckrowland

well us including ninja's it would actually be tripplets lol not twins

but that would be awsome if you lived closer

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

Oh well then JK! I thought he was a wingless bastard as well. Damn thing is going to cost me around $230 for painting and install.

ckrowland

nope he got a wing a while back

Gnate

Well then, the three amigos we shall be.


...I underestimated how :ghey: that was.

ckrowland

:theghey: lololol

I WANT THOSE SILVIA HEADLIGHTS!!! those would look so badass!

Have you considered painting your roof black? That might look cool on any colored CL. My friend recently did that to his GTI, it looks real nice.

ckrowland

nahhh... i dont think that would look good on this car. i do in fact like in on some cars like it on those sicons( the alright looking ones not the boxes)

in theory a Accord front end with the right parts wouldnt look bad.

I.E.
1 piece JDM stanley headlights
Mugen or Aztec front grill
Accord Si-R or Mugen front lip.

but even right the right parts i dont think it would line up with the rest of the car right.
