I am sure people can do better then that. Show some creativity yo!
I hear ya man, although if I had an integra id do the JDM front end conversion cause I love the one piece lights better.

The front end one piece headlights look amazing on the 2ng gen intergras but I love the front ends on the 3rd gen intergras so I would never convert it over.
But the 6th gens are much nicer than the 5th gens moded IMO plus every corner I look theres a 5th gen, not many nice 6th gens around.

Why would you need a 5 Bolt conversion with a B16A inside ... ??

Is it for the originality purposes? i.e. JDM CTR ??

Very nice, me likes it.
Me loves the CTR, too bad they don't sell it to Canadian shores...Outta curiousity, do they sell the EK CTR in Europe, as in France? If so, if someone imported one they would have a LHD, real deal CTR, just EDM instead of JDM, but who cares, its the same thing!

I asked, no European model can come in either legally into Canada, RHD or LHD... the Gov't don't care... it's not allowed. 15 year old cars are exempt though.

I've seen nice early EKs for as low as $5500 with fair mileage (165K kms) so that would make a nice platform.
You'll see... He's bringing it to a meet before he puts all the parts in a USDM chassis. Its going to arrive soon, thats for sure.

LOL, I'm not going to name the importing service hes going through. It is going to happen, and just for you, I'll personally take pictures of it.

Why do you need a 5 bolt on an ITR?

Why do Cavaliers have 5 bolts?

I believe 5 Bolts are needed for bigger motors with larger Torque curves, that need 5 bolts instead of 4, for more rigidity and better power transfer to the wheels...

i.e. Prelude, ITR, CTR, all V6 motors, etc...

Also, when you have a lot of torque and HP, you need stronger wheels, that have to be attached firmily to the car. So then you need more bolts to do this.

That is also why Trucks have 8 Bolts and so on...

But B16a hasn't got that much torque, that would need 5 bolts...

Hmmm...
