To OP. It's your taste, your car, it's up to you. Now you see the aftermath. You decide. I did my JDM conversion, kinda regret it. Just because the JDM bumper doesn't have the metal bar behind the cover I tend to relieve that I went to JDM. But here more picture for enterain, that if you have money it can be done. LOL

lol.

In the beginning it was Mugen body kits. Then body kits in general. Then JDM body parts. Now it is original body parts / Mugen body kits.

I guess we have come full circle.

Maybe not all of it, but the wheels definitely are.

I hate ricers.. and when kids do these idiotic things. It makes you look lame.

And to the kid who said *** JDM, well what you described there is all the dumb, ignorant "JDM 16 yr olds" that think JDM is ONLY civics, and have Senior Driver Badges.

I'm restoring my EF, building the motor up a bit for more play, exterior wise, wheels. Rest will be OEM SiR shizzle.

That's true JDM. Japanese DOMESTIC Market.

I for one think that the deep dish rims, retarded camber with a pair of baby shoes hanging off your rear chinese tow hook and stupid shocker sticker (that must be the secret JDM qweer handshake) looking up at your big wide trucker rear view mirror and rockin a dumb *** right hand conversion (that makes no sense in this country, try going to a drive thru) while revving your smoking unbalanced p.o.s. Ebay $500 (china) turbo kit but its JDM YO! Is awesome.
And its funny you call me a kid
When I'm old enough to be your dad! Bahahaha

when i posted my response the ed hatch with the 94-97 spec dc2/4 front end was the only white hatch up there. maybe it's just the angle, but i like how it looks with that body kit and those wheels. the eg front end on our ed's, as well as the ek, looks wrong, because they're made for a rounded car, not a bubble. the da front end on an ed looks like a damn dolphin nose, way to long.

the closest front end swap i'd ever do to my car is a crx front end conversion on my hatch, but i'm not going to unless I come across one with the same trim lines as my 88 hatch (doubt it). I'm personally a fan of things like making a 24 year old car and making it look/feel/drive like it came off the show room floor, with tasteful upgrades, like added security, power options, etc. or some custom interior work.

but like many have said, if you want a specific car, then buy that car, dont hack up a civic to make it LOOK like an m3 (just an example), because in the end, it's still a hacked up m3 look a like civic that people from neither crowd will like.

Haha... You are the definition of a ricer. You don't have an "EF" so stop calling it that... Unless you had it imported and paid thousands of dollars to legalize it, then I stand corrected. I highly doubt this is the case since you describe "rest will be OEM SiR shizzle"...
