2004 Civic Front End conversion

I got cliped last week and I have loads of front end driver side body damage. The whole front end has been striped off. I'm looking at body kits, but I looked at pictures (hope I saw the pics right and they did infact make a change in the 2004, or I look like a dumb ***). So I rather the clean look of stock, but I'm bored of the 2001 look. If I buy the fenders, bumper, hood, lights it should bolt on right? Or did they do some changes in the frame. Might do a Acura EL front too and pop the Honda H sympol on the grill instead.

Going for a classy look. They're pretty close. I might just go with EL b/c it'll be more unique. But than the 04 is pretty sleek and the lines are more updated. Just getting some opinions b/c I like both alot, but can only pick one :-(

Since you're in Canada, get the 04 conversion. You won't be all that unique with the EL front end.

why do you want to do that, the front end of the 2004 civics looks like a camry, just stick with stock or get a nice kit

why would you want to do a front end conversion when it adds nothing to your car in terms of speed? with that conversion your car will move no faster. My advice is focus on the make up of the car after you have it pulling at least 13's but to each his or her own
