Default JDM or OE Hood???

Will a JDM hood fit on a USDM EF Civic without needing a whole front end conversion?

just stick with an oem hood. what's the point? Not much of a difference...just a hump that's not too noticeable

Yes it will fit. But you will have a gap inbetween where your hood curves down to meet your filler and your headlights. My friend has a EF8 CF hood on his USDM front end.

PasswordJDM has them .
They look awsome if you ask me. But there expensive. If you wanna save a few bucks, get teh ZC.

you can make a jdm bumper fit a usdm front end with no gaps. but you cant put the jdm hood onto the usdm front without having some big gaps
