2005 Coupe Grille Alternative for 2001-03 Coupe?
Is there an aftermarket grille (with emblem or emblem mount) with the 2005 coupe look for the 2001-2003 models?
I understand that you may do a complete OEM conversion but that requires a new hood, fenders, etc.
Just sold my SC430 and now looking for a 2001-05 Civic Coupe (don't ask why) and just wondering if I can make an 03 front look like an 05 without spending an unreasonable amount of money.
I'm sure this has been asked before,
but the search function just isn't the most efficient option.
Thx guys.

And to expand upon the OP's question... would a 2004-5 Coupe grille fit on a same year Sedan?

and the sedan/coupe is interchangeable by years EXAMPLE meaning 01 -03 sedan front end parts will fit 01 - 03 coupe. 04 -05 sedan front end parts will fit 04 -05 coupe fornt end.

Thx for the info guys.
After a little bit of research,
turns out that it's not as pricey as I originally thought for an OEM conversion.
I may consider just ordering the OEM 2004-2005 parts.
Anyone know any cheap part distributors in the Southern California region or a cheap online distributor?
I've seen: HondaPartsNow.com and HondaAutomotiveParts.com
Thx.

Acura RSXC grills ARE HUGE compared to civic grills.
Buying a RS grille for Under 100 bucks is cheaper than doing a 05 conversion, considering it will be atleast 750 when its done.
Its your ride, your money.

Q: What parts do I need to do an 01-03 to 04-05 front end conversion?
- A: You will need the hood, headlights (with brackets), grill, bumper, fenders, and radiator support.

Search craigslist, car-part.com, local wrecking yards, etc. No point in buying new if you can buy used.
