2019 Coupe sport front end = 2019 sedan sport front end.

As far as stuff for coupe specific, very very little out there due to low demand.

I'm with you... I think the coupe is sweet, but I think most 3rd party accessory makers realize that the volume of coupes on the road makes it hard to make any money back on those... I've had mine for about 2 years now and I've still only seen a handful or two of the coupes on the road, though I think they have superior styling. You've got to imagine that for every 10 coupes on the road maybe only 1 or 2 would ever want to mod their car, then you have to make exactly what those 1 or 2 people want or else you've wasted a lot of money in development. I'd like a front lip and rear window lip, but I also can't afford any.

It's simply supply and demand. The coupe is nice but few are sold compared to the sedans and hatches. Aftermarket companies are making the products that will sell best.

Here are the cold, hard numbers. According to cars.com, this the approximate current US inventory of non-Si Civics:

Sedan: 24,000
Hatchback: 9,000
Coupe: 3,000

I agree ...
Coupes are quite the rare sight.
I see more than 10 sedans, and 8 hatchbacks to every Coupe on the road.
That said, I'm not willing to sacrifice the beautiful sculpted lines of my Coupe in order to get access to body mods!

Front lips for the Coupe are fairly easy to get.

What really kills me is that most of the light bulbs (turn signals, reverse lights and brake lights) in the Coupe are different than the Sedan/Hatchback! :mad::confused::dunno::crazy::nono:

I wonder what the numbers are for the Si?

EDIT: I found 676 Si Sedans and 335 Coupes, thru Cars.com ... basically 2:1

The negative: Coupe = Very little aftermarket support

The positive: Coupe = You don't see a lot of them. Makes you feel special. :)

The bulbs are different for the coupe, but they are still common automotive bulbs. You shouldn't have any problem finding them at parts stores.

The Coupe already looks extremely funky. Doesnā€™t need any more help standing out in a crowd.

If they did that than it would have to be a two seater plus making it a hatchback wouldnā€™t increase cargo room itā€™ll be the same. the coupe is fine just the way it is

There are Honda HFP lips all around. Not the greatest option besides the sides.
