Icon2 CNG Conversion Kit

I haven't seen any threads on CNG conversion kits and I'm interested in adding CNG to my 99 LX sedan.
I have seen a CNG kit here on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Delux...ltDomainQ5f100

I'm hoping save $$$ at the pump obviously and CNG is cheap and will be for a long time. I only intend to keep my car near the Toronto area for CNG and use normal gas for long trips.

Is this a reputable brand for a CNG kit? Has anyone tried this on their own? Anything I should look out for?

Reputable brand? I don't see any brand. I see an Ebay seller hocking a DIY kit.

See if you can find a used Civic GX in the states somewhere, will probably be a lot easier.

There's one in a wrecker yard in Binghamton, NY.... as of November... might be too late for that one. Besides, you probably don't want a pickapart one.

It would be great if I could do a quick gas conversion even on my stock civic engine. California blows for smog. So this would be an excellent way to beat the law on engine conversions.

also i think to actually convert the car over to CNG it has to be EPA approved.
