Default Interesting Conversion for 96-98.... really!

I was looking over on ebay and found this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475

Now i know it's expensive (I can't afford it), but i thought it was pretty nice. Just wanted to see what some of the regulars thought about it. Here is the pic from the auction for the lazy folks.

Not neccessarily a repost, but it's more common than one would think:

hey i kinda like that? It is a Canadian thing? What lip did you use on it? do the normal 96-98 lips fit?

edit: seems to me that there is a body kit company that sells this conversion

There's a thread on this in the Appearance forum as well. I think it looks good on the hatch.

Isn't that called the "domani conversion".
one of my friends has a 1.6 EL. it wasn't much faster that my others friends ex coupe, but it looks cool, a little different than your average 4 door.

The Domani front end looks fresh and clean. Does anyone know who imports these and the price range for the conversion? I'm looking to buy a 96 CX for an H22 swap this spring and that front end would be something I would seriously consider depending on the price.

Maybe its just me, but the blue car looks kinda like a mini Skyline. Its cool I guess, not my cup of tea though.

Looks unique. I don't know whether to hate it or like it because it reminds me of stupid Accords. I'd guess that hatch looks okay with it, except for that fugly chrome upper-center grill.
