Someone asked why I'm doing this it doesn't add speed. I got into an accident so might as well fork over the cash now and do something nice. But I might just throw a kit on.

LOL it's on.... What did you do? I only did $2000+paint job worth, but I decided not to go through insurance since it's my fault that I avoided being cliped by a truck and skidded a gaurd rail.

Ouch you got snow already, man you hit the biggest possible car you could find. Did you call an acura dealer yet? I got the price tag of $2,097.42 for parts so far. Might call TO to see if I can get a cheaper price.

Naa, my claim got faxed to the shop today so I'm going to call them tomorrow and ask them if they'd do it with the EL front end instead of the normal Civic, I'm guessing it'd run about the same.

RSX conversion will be more than juss buying parts and slapping them on.

I'd say for the money/looks ratio.. the 04 Civic conversion. But if u can do EL.. man.. the EL looks nice and u'll be the first!

eh novaz, maybe u forgot- we drive 7th gen civics... anyone in it for the speed is out of their minds! (or very wealthy)

I think both of those front ends are ugly. maybe the 04' style would look nice with some factory-fit foggies and some decent 15" alloys, otherwise- id just find a modest/conservative aftermarket bumper to stick on there. You'll save money, and be unique. you ca use the money u save toward something else to slap on your ride.

BTW- because acura is hondas luxury line, my guess is that their parts will cost more.

There isn't much of a price difference, it's comparable. But I'd be replacing way more parts than I needed to originally. I'm going for the bomex kit, maybe a bit too sporty for the 4 door but oh well I'll make it work. For everybody else that's listing all these cars I wanting to do a basic direct bolt on, some of the cars your listing will be crazy $$$. But yeah haha I difinatly didn't buy my civic for it's powerful motor. I'll be upgrading when I'm out of school next year, I'll let my gf take the civic so the new car isn't all banged up. Cosmo is your conversion a go?

nah you are wrong. Turbo kit or nitrous and you've got very good performance.

Throw turbo and nitrous on a faster car your still going to get beat. Civic is a well built car, but not the quickest out of the bunch.
