twofold:

1) there is no JDM coupe, as such, no JDM grille, so if you've got a coupe, you're out of luck.

2) the USDM & JDM sedans have different front ends, and individual parts are not interchangeable. you have to swap the entire front end of the sedan including fenders, hood, bumper, headlights, radiator cover, grille, and I believe, bumper support to do it right.

Mugen does make a lip kit (in fact two), but the problems you will run into: The JDM lip kit will not line up with the USDM front (JDM sides & rear do match up). the USDM Mugen Si Kit is on controlled order (requires owning a MugenSi, or knowing someone who does)
