Wow, someone who actually likes the look of the new grill. Don't know the answer to your question, but I've done butt loads of Nissan/HondaGM front end conversions and they usually consist of radiator support, hood, bumpers, headlights, lighting harnesses, fenders, and a few hours of welding and fitting.

Ahh. I see. Otherwise, I think you'd have been the first Honda-Tech member in history to have preferred the parrot beak to the old nose.

The current RL/Legend is, indeed, a mid-model facelift...but it's a heavy one. Most facelifts would interchange rather easily, but I do not think any of us know for sure in your case.

It looks like it'd work, but you're in uncharted territory!

SH-AWD is awesome. You'll enjoy the hell out of it if you are an enthusiastic driver.
