it might sound stupid but im just curious!

 

It's just the hood that has a small bump on the driver side. I believe the rest is the same as other EF

 

dont buy a front end, just get the hood, its the only difference.
and it does fit the usdm front end, unlike the SIR hoods.

 

so the jdm zc pretty much has the usdm front end but different hood?

 

Yes. The hood has a little bump on the right side if you are standing in front of it and the rest looks like an 88-89 front. In Japan, this was the "Si" model.

and dont forget abt the headlights, they are plastic and have one bulb in it as well.

 

Not all the ZC front end's had the bump in the hood, only the model's with the twin cam engine.

 

Well, I think he meant to ask, "what does the JDM Si front end look like." The Si came with the DOHC ZC.

The SOHC ZC came in the RTi 4WD.

Yes the bump in the hood, oem clear corners, plastic single bulb headlights with no "nipples", front lips, and also the bumpers don't have supports in them.

The zc front ends are about 20-30lbs lighter because of the absence of the bumper support and plastic headlights instead of the glass with metal frames

My ZC front, ironically everything but the hood.

 

ZC front end = 88/89 front end with clear corners and a hump on the hood.

 

Here's a pic of the real thing

I was going to post that exact pic of your car but I figured I'd just wait for you to chime in.

I took that pic myself back in 2002 when i was working for a Toyota dealer. It was the 1st crx i brought in.

 

Thats a pic of the EF9 frontend. note how the signal lights "wrap" around the bumper.

It looks like the front bumper guard doesn't stick out as much as the standard USDM one.

 

as mentioned above...headlights, corner lights - clear with two screw holes for attachment...if you want to be really technical...get the jdm fender for the jdm sidemarkers but use you can also use the usdm fender and cut a hole......

 

So does the ZC front end use the USDM 88-89 style bumper for all 4 years, or does the JDM 90-91 model use the same bumper as its USDM counterpart?

 

^^ In Japan, 1990-91 models have the same front style as the sir models. Even the carbed 1.5X had the newer style front end.
Here is a shot of a current 1990 CRX Si for sale at Yahoo Japan.....thats right, it looks like an SiR

It wasn't just in the 4wd. It came in the 36i, the 56i and the RTI. Fair enough though.
