It a 1996 JDM EK9
Because it's the pre-facelift EK9 so the headlight is not the black one.
All information I have read tells me the EK9 was released in 1997.
And from going through Jap auction sites, all EK9's have aka slightly tinted headlights.

yep im sure the head lights are tinted, and the lip he has on is an honda acess lip, not the jdm ctr lip but still very nice car overall

[|N|]

all EK9s regardless of facelifted or not.. has the tinted headliights la..
had an accidient b4 and hence the normal headlights?

[SiReal]

still, i'd hit it ;)

[barefootbonzai]

yeah perhaps a front end accident. but dam, a geniune black ek9! YUMMY!

Tell your mate/owner to do the car some justice and get a BYS frontbar and some geniune headlights.

That lip is not the ek9 lip unless im mistaken its the optional oem lip, ek9 for the prefacelift comes in the one that goes straight down... pretty damn sure :thumbsup: still nice car lip or no lip with or without the smoked headlights :(

[aaronng]

I'll keep an eye out for that car. :) Is that Rosebank Ave.?

either has been in an accident as its not factory front lip or headlights or the previous owner took both of them. accident is more likely.

I have the pre-facelift "tinted" headlight on my car so the pre-facelift ones are tinted aswell.

EDIT: i just looked at the pics again and its got a copy front grill

front lip is access lip
headlights are standard headlights
front grill is genuine 3 piece one
rear lights have been changed to the 99-00 model aswell. whether or not theyre ek9 ones no one knows until he turns it on :thumbsup:

[tinkz1]

maybe its a replica???

[EK9]

if this is the same car, i saw this bout 5-6 years ago... used to have clear aftermarket rear lights, was in average condition back then. apparently was unregistered and had difficulty being registered (most likely a grey import) - hence it took so long to register again.

anyway, good work on getting it on the road... yeah get some real ek9 headlights and a new lip!
