dont forget that you will need extra wiring and the ballasts for the HID too. if u search ul find at least one member who has done it and he spent almost $5k+ on parts alone. only way id do this is if i found one in a wrecking yard with no body damage to the front.

now, i do think there are a couple jdm companies that make fiberglass conversions for ucf20 to ucf21 cars but with shipping and paint itl prolly be round the same price, if only a bit cheaper.

The biggest problem is you won't have the VVti and 5 spd tranny. To round out the package, you'll also want the tails and back seat for the center head rest. For a seamless look, you'll spend some $$$.

Will you re-paint the entire car? At 10 years, even well kept paint is not likely to match the new front and it will look like it had been in a collision. The body panels will not match so when-if you sell this car, the value will go

I'd enjoy the car as it is and/or put the $$ towards other custom touches like wheels, suspension, stereo...

I'm starting a nightmare of a project soon.... UCF10 to UCF20 conversion, I'm getting the whole front cut fitted onto the a lonf rear cut, then make the new radiator support fit onto the UCF10 cut. On top of all this, I'm going to be drilling, cutting and shutting wholes on the firewall. All this just to see if I can mix and match. I'll be taking photo's for each step and later post them on. As fas as 95-99 , should be easy as ****! You will need the 2 gaurds, bonnet (grill should be same), headlights, bumper bar. I have one head light I can supply, but thats about all. $380USD
