i'll close my other posts as soon as i am done with this one ...
it's a 100% final list of everything you will need/want to complete your front end conversion to a T.
after my initial install i noticed that there was 1 fitment issue... the mugen grill. It would not hook up to the stock radiator cover/cowl ... it fit but not perfect and it's not anything u'd want to show off. It would cause ur stuff to look like this when ur hood was closed:
u can notice the spaces on the upper left and right corners of the grill.
That can cause water, dust and other stuff to get in there...
that was basically the only fitment issue ... in order to get around this u need the front radiator cover of the csx or jdm model civic after which ur stuff will look like this:
u also will want other lil odds and ends which will be in the list below but can be omitted.
you will need.
1. HOOD
a) hood insulator (it comes with it's own clips)
b) L + R headlight seals ... those are rubber pieces that attatch to the left and right corners of the hood where it meets the headlight
c) ur warning lables that go under the hood :thumb:
2. L + R FENDERS
a) L + R bumper brackets ... those attatch to the fenders. You need those because this is what the bumper attatches to at the back corner of the headlights/ front corner of the fenders... you will need to reuse the 1 screw on each side that's on the stock bumper brackets (or u can get new ones)
3. BUMPER
4. GRILL ... mugen or stock jdm civic / csx crill ... if using csx / jdm grill u'll need a few extra mounting clips for where it attatched to the top of the bumper... i think 3 but i'm not soo sure since i'm using a mugen grill.
5. RADIATOR COVER/COWL
a) extra mounting clips as this one uses 3 extra clips ... part # 91505-S9A-003
6. L + R HEADLIGHTS
a) L + R headlight brackets ... those are needed to attatch the headlights to the frame as well as to attatch the bumper to the bottom of the headlights.
B) 4 extra bulbs ... can't remember the bulb number but u'll want those bulbs + sockets ... 2 of these bulbs are ur park lights so u may want those or else u won't have park lights ... the other 2 are city lights which just look cool when ur headlights are on ... u have to wire them into ur harness accordingly.
i) the park ones get wired into ur turn signals via 2 wires... so they light up when u stock park lights are on but they don't blink ... they are basically side markers.
ii) the city lights get wired into ur low beam ... :thumb:
7. FOG LIGHTS
you will have to reuse ur stock screws/bolts. they are all the same.
all 10mm bolts with the exception + 2 philips screws for the bumper brackets + 2 philips screws that attatch the bumper at the corners :laughing:
side item ... u'd have to remove ur wipers and u need a 17mm socket for that :thumb:
That's everything you will need for a perfect conversion without any missing pieces and a perfect fit ... no modifications of any kind. 100% bolt/snap on.
Maybe NBPRudy can comment on part numbers for the other pieces as i did not make note of them when i got them.
price will vary ...
i'll outline the differences between JDM + CDM ... they are few and comes down to preference.
1. JDM has clear corners and CDM has amber (i prefer the amber since stock USDM had amber)
2. JDM has flat hood + bumper ... CDM has accent line running down the middle of hood + bumper (i prefer the line to five it a lil edginess)
everything else is the same.
where headlights are concerned .... there's the HID version(non projector though) + a regular halogen version ...
HID version costs 1000 per headlight and that's just the headlight only ..
Halogen version has the most impressive cut off that i've never seen on any halogen based headlight so IMO u can get that and use a good plug + play kit... u won't be disappointed.
CTR front is different ... so one can go that route ...
the fenders are 5mm wider
the bumper has a more agressive look to it ...
u'd be trading off the foglights in it's current position for some small fogs that fit on the bumper itself
the lip will be different ...
i preferred this one (regular civic front) + mugen lip + fogs for my daily beater at: ...
happy modding :thumb:
