Thats a really subjective question. It's also in the wrong forum; put it in the appearance/cosmetics. As for your question, you can do a lip or SiR bumper.

1996-1998 Civic coupe front ends are pretty much the same everywhere. Headlights are the only things that are reliably different from the US front ends. Grilles sometimes are different and some countries have sidemarkers, but that's it.

The hatches and sedans in some countries come with trim on the corners of the bumpers.

The only JDM Civic coupe was the Civic Coupe STD which is an EJ7 (think US HX coupe) with a D16A. It looks almost just like a USDM Civic coupe from 1996-1998.

If you want a 1999-200 front end on a 1996, you WILL have to replace the hood, fenders, bumper, headlights and grille and either modify or replace the core support.

Whoever says you don't have to do all that has not looked at the different shapes of all of those parts between the 1996-1998 and the 1999-2000 front ends.

It is not a Japanese specific front it is a USDM front as well as a Canadian front on the siR.

What "JDM front end" are you talking about? The JDM fronts are no different than the US fronts save for sidemarkers, headlights and grilles (grilles are dependent on trim level).

If you're referring to the '99-'00 Si front end, there is no JDM EM1 (aka US Si, Canadian SiR). The EM1 is sold in many other countries though. As far as the front end goes, the only thing they have that's "special" in all markets is that it has a standard front lip. The grilles are different from market to market, as are the headlights.
