What front end is this?
I want this front end because mine is an eyesore, but I also want a correct front end. Seller says it is from a JDM 89 Civic Si. It's to my understanding that the sedan front will not fit on the hatchback/CRX but is the hatch and CRX transferrable?

Looks like a USDM 88-89 Hatch front end with Clear Corners/Bumper Lights.
The JDM SIs (ZC) had a scoop raising up from the hood but look exactly like USDM 88-89 hatchbacks.
The ZC also had a very small and light bumper support different to USDM supports.

Re: What front end is this?
Im still pretty interested in getting it considering it'd make a huge difference sheetmetal wise on my frontend. What about the moldings? Aren't there different moldings from the 88-89 and the 90-91? The earlier having a painted groove, the later being smooth?

So other than getting 88-89 moldings and doing a custom stretch (to accomodate the doors being longer for the seatbelts), it wouldn't match. Oh, and a 88-89 rear bumper, too?
Re: What front end is this?
yeh taht looks like the usdm si front not the jdm. still a good looking front end. but dont pay what you would pay for a jdm front end that is for sure. looks to be in good condition though, better than my si front thats for sure!

Re: What front end is this?
i dont thik that hood is a usdm hood. in US the middle part goes in instead of out like that one looks like. i dont know if this will cause a problem durring installing it. but it could.....
on closer inspection, maybe it IS the usdm hood.

Looks like a 88-89 jdm spec non Si front end with clear aftermarket from signal len's. You can tell it's not from a sedan because the corners are separate.
A crx front end is different as it doesn't have a separate upper bumper filler.

If your going to source out zc headlights, get a good set from Europe's model called the 1.6i
They are better than the jdm version. They can be had in LHD configuration, they are made of glass, they use actual H4 bulbs, and if you look around, you can find the height adjustable ones. I used to have a set, before i bought my ef8 front end.
