Well i am looking at some junk yards , but it is to hard to find cause it is a 2004 car so their is not many 2004 cars in the junk yard with out the bumper smashed to hell. I would not go through the Acura Dealer cause it would cost me a arm and a leg.

Well i don't think it would fit , cause if i want to put a Carbon Fiber hood on my car and i get one that is of a 02 Civic well it will not fit . The head lights on the Honda Civic are made Different form the one on the Acura EL . So i don't think it would fit only if you change the whole front end. Also it is extremely hard to find any body mods for the Acura EL cause the car is only made in Canada.

someone told me that people get in car accidents in Canada. Is this true? I also heard they have junkyards but I dismissed it as BS.

My Swap From 1.7L to K24 in my Acura EL
This is my build for my Acura EL 1.7 L to 2.4 L
So I decided to drop a K24 into my EL and this is how the build when.
My car before the swap.
Some parts I got
After market rods on the left and stock TSX on the right
Valve spring setup with S2000 and RSX Type S springs and the head.
Hybrid racing wire harnest
Hasport motor mounts
The K24
Finished Product With the Valve cover custom painted

geez, this guy swaps a k24, and you are talking about his "too big" wheels. I think that its perfect; no one will expect to get smoked by the bastard child of the Civics with some big rims on it.
