My pics of this guys car DO NOT do the EL front NOR his WICKED car justice at all....this IS A VERY RAW Tiite Ride...and the Canadian EL front REALLY Sets an EK off nicely..GET the front and DO IT! Not that my opinion amounts to much...but you WON'T regret it..I've seen LOT's of them up here and it's a tiite swap!





we have these fronts in our wrecking yards up here!!!!!! LOL It's a sweet swap....and it's easy too.

Its ugly as hell and only appealing in any way b/c you don't see it very often.

It looks retarded on hatches, ok on coupes, and sex on sedans.

looks nice w/ the bys bumper, but agree it looks a lot better on sedans and coupes.

Without the bys bumper it looks like an accord, and that's not a good thing; this is coming from an accord owner himself lol.
