Default Finally the Domani Build..........

After a 3 year search for the front end I finally was able to get one. I figured H-T has been so good to me over these many years, I'd give something back.

I think it's time for a face lift. Yes that is tape holding the front bumper on.





After one of the events Here in Re-NO the motor took a drive.



Pulled everything off and started to put the headlights in, when i found out i had to remove a bracket so the head lights would fit.



There was only 3 Tack welds I had to Drill through then it was smooth sailing.
These 2 in the back (sorry my camera isn't great)



And this one on the top.



After that I gave myself some teaser shots before the fenders,bumper and hood go to the body shop (the front i found had some minor damage)





Yes that is a Isuzu Front grill cuz I got the front end off a Isuzu Gemini, but here's one with the Honda Grill.



More to come.............

looks good.
Just a thought wouldnt it have been easier to get the Acura 1.6EL front-end? Its readily available here in Canada-direct from the dealer. OR is there a major difference between domani & 1.6el?

Did you get that imported from Japan? You do know Canada got the same car as an Acura 1.6EL, right?

Yeah I tried every Canadian Site and person I could come in contact with, with no luck. The front end are exactly the same just the front grill is different.

I found a Place in Sac-town with 2 of them. But with my luck both of the front ends were damaged. So i just took the better of the parts they had. Plus the Front was only 700$

MrDanger- Hopefully painted by the end of this week. Put a stock b20 with my vtec head to drive around. I miss my turbo.....

Optiks.- I was gonna put it on and have it for shows. and crap it easy to take on and off.

90civichb- Actually it's the same car just different front grill. Just like the Isuzu Rodeo and the Honda Passport. Same car just different badges.
