Default Kind you name this civic?

I tried to search but cant remember the name. It is the four door acura el i think. It looks like a 96-00 four civic but with a different front end and it has acura on the back 1.6something. Can somebody give me the actually name of this car and where i might be able to the conversion for a 99 civic. thanks

i think the first el is a 98, the 2nd el is a 97, and i'm not sure about the last el ...i do know it's not a 01-03 el though. supposidly, the grilles on the 97-98 els are different from the 99-00 els. the 01-03 els have a similar body to the 7th gen civic sedans.

no clue about the rest of your questions.

you may find more info about els at http://www.clubel.ca/

Just find a Canadian wrecker with one hit in the rear. Parts direct from Acura will make you go broke. Tons of wreckers up here in the Vancouver area.
