FULL SCALE MOD - Acura 1.7 EL (Touring) -> 1.7 EL (Premium) + PHOTOSSS

Hi, I am new to this forum =)

And here are my questions...

Basically I have a Acura 1.7 EL (Touring) with the most basic setup, and I want to replace the tailights (unit) and headlights (unit) with better looking ones, either with 1.7 el PREMIUM taillights (the circles) or other aftermarket lighting units.. however I am having extreme difficulty finding any supplier of headlight/taillight replacement for my acura el here in Toronto Ontario, Canada..



Also, I am looking for a replacement bumper (front and back) but it's also pain in the ass finding these parts... I understand since this is a Canadian-only vehicle production of parts are limited. But do you know what other vehicle's (civic sedan?) part will fit my EL? Which civic? Specific year? Or is my only option with the 1.7 EL Premium's AERO KIT?

Anyone know how much it will cost to change my touring front bumper to premium one like the one below? Or any other aftermarket front bumper?



What vehicle's bumper is this? Seems to fit the EL.



I read RiceBoy's reply on a member inquiring about replacing headlights HID bulb unit.. and how EL's stock halogen bulb basically functions as both normal/highbeam, and replacing with HID will eliminate this option.. isn't there HID bulbs that can also be used normal/highbeam mode? Dual-modes like the stock?

Finally, does anyone know the max tire width, inch compatible with the EL? I was interested in this set of rims.

16" ROTA D2 BLACK RIMS WHEELS CIVIC INTEGRA MIATA JETTA - (eBay.ca item 260368767201 end time 27-May-09 16:23:11 EDT)

I really appreciate you taking the time and consideration in reading all this and hopefully you can find time to respond.

Thanks a lot.
Alex

Sorry bro, you're ALL WRONG !

Taillights you have showed are not Touring/Premium. What you call touring Light is a 2001-2003 taillight. What you call Premium Light is a 2004-2005.

The front bumper you showed is a 2004-2005 front Aero Kit.

There are no differences on taillights from Touring to Premium !
