I hit a deer a few days ago, and I'm getting a new front end, and im considering all my options. Right now im leaning toward the 99-00 USDM front end. Any suggestions will help! Also if you have pictures and links on where to buy the conversion that will help too. Thanks for the help!

I thought the 98+ front ends looked pretty good. If you can find something that puts some more downforce on the front tires though, I'd grab that up

99-00 in the future for me

you can't buy a conversion kit for this, you just have to find some stock 99-00 stuff.

you need:
fenders
hood
bumper
headlights
grill (you'll probably get an SI one)
lip (also an SI one)
*radiator core support (you don't NEED this, because you can alter your 96-98 one, but you can use this if you want)

search around, there is a new topic like this everyday.

Id stay with the 96-98 front end with a CTR grill, CTR head lights and a Spoon chin spoiler. Or if thats not your cup of tea i would go with a C-west front bumper. I just think the 99-00 front end on a coupe is boring since it makes it look like a stock 99-00 si.

That's a "Domani" or Acura 1.6 EL front end. They were in Canada and are the equivelent to a luxurious Civic EX.

I'm not a kit person and kept wondering in the past why I'm drawn to this conversion. I finally realized that its an OEM front.... gotta love clean OEM stylying. Honda/Acura Domani

definately do the Canadian Acura 1.6 EL front end......so mean-looking and not that popular so less chance of it being played out.......
