James Matteu Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Weird, I actually like that. I wonder what it looks like from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) I did a DC swap on my EH2 I had a while back. Changing the support isn't as hard as you'd think. Drill out the welds on the existing radiator support and from there's it pretty much lining up the drilled points on the civic support and welding it up.. You'll want to do as much reinforcing as you can due to the fact you're messing with the radiator support period.

del slo Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 people shave the back side of the hood down due t the fact there is about 2 inches extra... by shaving the grind it off then smooth it over to look normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del slo Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) the ek hood is a little bit longer than a del sol hood....... when you mount it up the hood will scrape when you open it .... people grind down the hood so it will not scrape Edited January 29, 2008 by del slo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
