2001 EM to 2004 EM front conversion

Im sure ill need a new bumper, new fenders, headlights and grille, but do i need a new hood? I really cant tell from the pics (USDM and JDM 2004 Civic) im seeing off the net.

You will need the hood also. They are not similar at all.

for the hood, i would wait for a carbon fiber one to come out, it will be cheaper this way. infact, the whole conversion will be cheaper once aftermarket bumpers and fenders come out. all you would need then would be the headlights.

Why bother with changing to a 2k4? Why not do an RSX conversion or something...Just my opinion

I just don't get the whole conversion craze. If you want the 2004 look, trade your car and get one. If it's not out yet, wait on it. Why spend thousands of dollars to convert a car when it's going to lower the value and it's only for looks anyway? It's stupid, IMO.

I looked at hondaautomotive parts a few weeks ago and if you were to buy the hood, fenders, bumper and headlights for a 2003, you'd pay $988.
This doesn't count painting or all the little misc parts you'd need to make all that bolt up.
