yes, you can swap grills. the two are directly interchangeable. also, the 95 V6's came with that grill, yet still had only outer tail lamps

I didn't even notice. I wonder if it's two different cars or if it just drives around like that.

The spoiler is invisible from the front view too to avoid review vision blocking.

If you notice in the first pic, that "village" in the back looks very crowded (jdm style..lol) and there's a pink truck in your top right...("only in japan" style..)
In the second pic, you see some "japanese" writing on the truck next to the accord, and did you notice the folded mirrors.... you guessed.... JDM ...dawg..... way to go....
