The sideskirts and rear lip should swap fine, but the front lip is entirely different.

Haha, same happened to me when I tried to pop the hood on the Ford 49 concept at the Milwaukee Auto Show.







Best looking Ford I've seen in the past 30 years.

nice ride mang! but naww i was asking that question because i have a 1.7 el and the only body kits i can find are hona civic kits so i wanna put a nice low key kit on my car over the summer and i wanted to know if the civic front bumper would fit on the acura or would i have to cut it down the middle and angle it a little bit more... would the front bumper have the same mounting i know the side skirts and rear have the same mounting but what about the front?

I have seen body kits for the EL... check out http://www.acurael.com
Theres a guy on there, and on 7thgencivic by the name of Telly, I've seen his car, he has a body kit, and it looks pretty good.

You may not have that many body options but at least you got rear discs

God, get over it people. Did I ask for an opinion, lecture, or complaint list? No. I simply stated that I got yelled at for trying to pop the hood on a concept car.
