If you're in the US, your best bet is to source 1.6EL parts.

I'm not aware of anyone selling it as aftermarket parts. I wouldn't expectc tem to fit very well if you did.

Tat or you would have to piece the parts together as thoug you'd had a crash.

why the hell would you want to put an Isuzu front end on a civic??? just get a big body kit, atleast that wouldnt be slapping Honda across the face. wow

*I do not condone the use of big body kits, the statement made was in a comparative manner only and are not necessarily the views of myself. Thank you.

i think the conversion only looks good on sedans !!!!!!!!!!!! the car pictured was my old car right after paint ........ the reason it has an isuzu grille is that in japan they baged some honda domanis as isuzu to try and help boost sales for isuzu ........it is rarer then alot of fan boy parts and not understood the rareness by the ricers

Yeah, honestly that looks stupid. There's no other way about it. If you want an Isuzu, buy one. Don't ruin a Honda.

Yeah I am not a huge fan of that first gen domani front end.

I think the domani you used eghatch looks somewhat plain, but it is a VERY cleanly done job and I think it works. Like you said, definitely something different that will make people do a doubletake and go "what the...?"

Nice job on it. If you could give those lights a black housing it would look even better.

+1 for originality

First of all, i'm doing it because I like the style, second its unique, and third RARE in US.

I dont know much about the conversion, but whatever picture that was posted up, thats the 96-00 Domani correct? or do they have a different version for the izusu, and domani, or even the 1.6EL?

And from what eghatch4sale said. I already had my 4door looking like those JDM ek blah blah blah, there is too many of them, so another reason is why i want to be different from everyone else.

Also for the conversion, does anyone know if i need a new radiator support(1.6EL, domani etc.)? or is stock rad support fine with the bolt on conversion?

It's not an Isuzu front end. The cars were built by Honda (they're 6G Civics with a few different bits and pieces) and then some were re-badged as Izusus.

It's NOT an Isuzu!

I can't believe the amount of hate in this thread. It's ridiculous. It's stupid.

I totally agree with NOFX.

I personally like the conversion. Its OEM (ish) and doesn't look like a piece of **** body kit. Its definitely different here in the states. I agree it does look best on the sedans but I've seen a clean *** coupe with it too.

OP: I say go for it bro.

I would think its hard to find is the reason, Same thing with ITR front ends, i only see a few of those ever. But for this is not because its hard to find, because the conversion is expensive.
