I think it would cost a pretty penny.

You'd be better off trading it in for the EX or Si.

haha, me three. I want rear discs and red calipers. looked at the hfp brakes but they look just like si brakes just painted red with red slots.
and there is no way swapping out rear drums for discs is more expensive than trading in an lx for ex.

The benefit of rear discs over rear drums is next to nothing.
If your simply doing it for looks

Just order all the Si parts and swap it over

keep in mind that you will be voiding your braking warranty ......
