sedan tails are not

but luckly, you can fit Acura EL tails. All you have to do is swap the trunk lids and paint them, or cut part of the existing trunk lid :P



are you still thinking about doing that conversion??? If you did that, :bowdown: :drool:

actually, I want to do the whole conversion....

its cool, because the 96-98 sedans are given the shaft left and right. I think honda really screwed us.

but they made it up with the Acura EL/Honda Domani

they sell a conversion kit (well, two of them. $2500 for the front end, $850 for back end). I *so* want to do it.





the rear end (pictured in my original post) is only compatable with the 96-98. The front end goes on 96-00 sedans :thumbup:

what needs to be done to convert the rear end? its not as simple as just getting an EL trunk lid?? What else do you need to do?

the EL is basiclly acura's jdm civic. The trunk lid bolts straight on. Hell, the outter tails are the same on the EL and the civic 96-98 sedan, but red/clear

any idea how much it would cost to get your hands on an EL trunk lid? It would probably just be a matter of checking around with Canadian junkyards, right? Ever priced them before?

www.2loww.com sells both the front and rear end conversions.

front = $2500 us (includes fenders, headlights, bumper, bumper blinkers, hood, and grill)

rear = $850 us (includes trunk lid and inner tails)

the red/clears off autodynamic would complete the rear end.
