Re: MOD question?

you need to get the EL trunk lid i believe then you can swap it in and rewire it.

Re: MOD question?

rear bumper of the EL is not completely the same. there is a slight indentation on the lowered middle bottom (kinda like the 03-05)

Re: MOD question?

Re: MOD question?

you might wanna check the height where the bumper and the tail light meet. From what I am seeing, there may be a slight difference between the EL and civic

Re: MOD question?

Smash this MOD cause we just recieved an 05 Acura EL at my work and i measured the outer tail lights and it's wider and longer than my civic... might try to find 01-03 EL tail lights which i believe fits in my civic... does anybody know if there's other altezza tail lights for the 01-03?
