dont think it's possibile for the coupe.
they dont have any common features
like the fenders, bumpers, hood are all
different from the coupe to the sedan.
have seen the sedan done before and
it is bad ass.

ill check there.

Could care less bout the coupe. I think it's ugly and hated civics cause of it.

The sedan is so much better in every way and brought my interest back.

It may be cheaper to put a Canadian CSX front.
