saw this on another forum but nobody really knows much about it other than it's a civic not from this country obviously. I've heard it's called a domani and/or an EL (acura el?)

what country(s) exactly was this front end offered in and how rare is it??

thanks guys, any info you can provide is well appreciated.

 

...thats the frontend from an ACURA 1.6 el.....produced in Canada
they look good

 

its a el. looks a hell of alot better than our four door civics. And guess what.... it not jdm.

 

Acura 1.6EL from Canada.

 

Thats a Domani, in japan,
Canada is a 1.6EL. Thats a VIS front bumper. The OEM bumper does not have the lip.

Here is mine

 

I take it since they are 4-doors you can't put the front end on the 2-door then...

 

Yea.. It's the Acura 1.6 EL, and that front end conversion is becoming a more popular thing to do. I understand why, that front end looks sooo much better than the civic front ends..

sure you can.. I don't see why not.. You can put JDM integra fronts on 2 and 4 door integras..

 

where am I looking on this site?? I take it I can buy used parts here??

is there an article somewhere on here that tells about converting a 2-door front end??

 

I dont think there is a write up,

Maybe look for the users from the US, cause most of them just put them on there coupes. All the rest of the CDN's genereally dont do the conversion.

 

You can also do a trunk swap.

 

I am in love with this conversion, next car if i get a another ferio, im going to be doing this, someone has the trunk conversion on ebay right now for 300 buy it not, not 1/2 bad

Bah, don't like the trunk, but the font end is super neato!

 

Trunk is 1/2 bad it's a direct blot on and so is the front end, everything lines up great (as i see in the pics), just need to buy the supports and stuff

 

swaps onto coupe & hatch no problem!

 

In Canada it's called the Acura 1.6EL from 1996 - 2000, currently there is a new model EL since the generation 7 Civic's came out, and from 2001 - 2003 it is called the Acura 1.7EL, however, with 2004 various face lifting is done and is simply called the Acura EL.
BOTH the generation 1 EL (1.6L) and generation 2 EL (1.7L) uses the SOHC VTEC engine's offered on the USDM Civic EX Sedan/Coupe.

In Japan the equivalent of the Acura 1.6EL is the JDM Honda Domani, I forgot the exact engine specs, however, i do recall that AWD was offered for the Domani.

Elsewhere, I am not sure what part of the world, I have seen pictures of ANOTHER equivalent body design/style called the ISUZI GEMINI.

if you want more detailed descriptions of the EXTERIOR differences of these 3 cars, I will be happy to type it all out because it is all in my head... i would post pics, but sorry my hard drive fried a long while ago and lost them all

Should need the grill too.

and bumper lights,

 

stackz VIS used to sell the conversion! I think you need the core support to but I am not positive.

 

yeah, I saw that...actually that first picture of mine is from their actual website. I just couldn't find any price info or anything on it is why I was asking...cause if it costs an arm and a leg then I can just get my dad (who owns a body shop) to get the parts for me for cheap

 

Not enough of a race car or sports car look for me.
