04-05 EL Front Bumper on 01 EM2?

Hi guys, I just wanted to know if this was possible or not, because im having a hard to finding info on this. Do you think the 04-05 Acura EL front bumper (BUMPER ONLY) would fit on an 01-03 em2? I know the EL's head lights are different, but by the looks of it, its only the top parts of the lights by the hood. On the EL they are more slanted (angry looking), but the rest of the lights look to be the same. Would everything line up? Or would this just be a pain in the ***. Remember, only the EL bumper to the civics front end, not the headlights or fogs, or hood or quarters.



Thanks.

I think that EL has the 04-05 headlights and fenders too.

What do you mean? I just ment like, will a 04-05 EL Bumper fit on a 01-03 em2. Without changing the em2's headlights, hood, and fenders.

You can correct me if I'm wrong but through my random searches I am under the impression that you'd need a 04-05 front clip (fenders, headlights, hood & bumper cover + fogs) in order to pull off the conversion. Not sure if extra harnesses are need for the fogs to work either.

I mean exactly what I said. You need the whole front clip, not just the bumper.

Oh alright man, thanks. I was just looking at the 2 cars (04-05 acura el and 2001 civic lx) side by side, and thought that the EL's front fascia would look good on the civic. But yeah, thanks.

No doubt the front bumper cover of the 04-05 EL looks good IMO! I am actually interested in maybe doing the conversion. I'm going for a clean factory look and have considered the Kaminari full front bumper. The RS or Mugen lip would def be a cheaper and more practical solution.
