u need to buy the front end of the RSX LOL and then u need to get the body shop to do a custom job of installing it, lots of weilding and body work required, pretty expensive LOL !

Maybe you should get an RSX and put an EP rear end on it.;)

is their front end even the same length? looks like our front end is a lot shorter than theirs

u'd have to make some kind of bracket/frame that'll extend the mounting points so the bumper and headlights can stay on i guess

I really dont think it would be that hard. I am looking for someone in the sa area with an rsx to take off their bumper and see how similar they are. when I was parked next to an rsx the bumpers look to be the same length from the wheel well to the headlights. I think the only change would have to be custom work on the top and sides of the headlights.

it's already been done on a Si...well sort of. If you look in a SportCompactCar Magazine you will sometimes see an ad that shows this girl standing next to a blue 00 Si. She has a RSX front end conversion with a black widow II front bumper. Looks freakin crazy.
I think the add is for sound upgrades, and they usually list a few things the person has done to the car.

I dont think it would be that difficult to do(just take some $$). take it to a good body shop and get an estimate:)

I can not see how that would work. Just to get the fenders and the door to look right would be a job and a half. I think I could see a way to fab the front bumper of the RSX to the EP with some costom work to the fenders but I can not see the hood working off the RSX nor the fenders. I would think it would be cheaper to mod the EP fenders then to redo the RSX ones.
