i live in the USA too ...

the conversions is ... transforming/ "converting" your USDM (United Stated Domestic Market) civic sedan to a CDM (Canadian domestic market) or JDM (Japanese Domestic market) car/ fascia ....

so u replace ur USDM front end to that of the CDM or JDM ...

Thank you very much Sickyute, that helps a lot. So what is so hard about taking off the front end of my USDM civic and putting on a CMD front end?

Oh ok...nice...I never knew what happened with the FG2, that was such a nice coupe...but the sedan is much nicer though with the conversion

Ok now

That is a sick looking car. Way cool. All I want is a new grill with the Mugen emblem. I lookind online and on Ebay and I cannot find that grill. I found this one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-C...spagenameZWDVW

How do I put the Mugen emblem on there? I want it to look factory so I do not want to use zipties and other half measures. Is there a store that sells the Mugen grill for a stock US Si sedan?

as far as I know, Mugen does not make a grill for the coupe. They only sell it for the sedan here: http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=8

Scroll down to the Mugen Civic Type R and its under sports grille. Till then, we coupe owners will have to wait

the mugen civic type r sports grill will only work if you have a civic type r front bumper. the regular jdm civic mugen grill will only work on the jdm civic or CSX. however, the sideskirts on both civics will fit on our USDM 4 doors. also the jdm civic mugen rear lip will fit on our 4 doors.
