You cant convert your car to an EF9. It has to be made that way.

i agree with a whole new front clip with the RHD setup... you can purchase the clips for a fairly reasonable price if you look...

If you buy that body kit, you are going back to a style people had 10 years ago, and no longer want to do.

I gave into the body kit thing a decade ago and regretted it. They damage so easily, and chip like no tomorrow, i don't care how good the paint is. In hindsight, it was a waste

What it really comes down to is doing what you like. It's your car after all.

Please no body kit. put a lip on it. maybe retrofit some sideskirts, but for the love of god. no bodykit. I like the rims though.

VERY TRUE.

The EF9 only looks like our cars. The only way to turn your "88-91 civic to an EF9" is import one!
