If you want to use Fabrik, you need to create your forms with it. That's one purpose of using Fabrik instead of... an external tool.

Now, if your "external" forms saves data to a table in the database, you can manipulate them with Fabrik if you need to.

You can create custom form templates in Fabrik (so you may use parts of your "external" form HTML and CSS) but you must keep the Fabrik element structure including Fabrik/bootstrap CSS classes etc.

So you may copy the Fabrik bootstrap form template as starting point, then add custom CSS and/or tweak HTML.
