Honda Legend vs. Acura Legend

I've been searching this forum for hours and I cannot find out the differences between the USDM Acura Legend and the JDM Honda Legend for the life of me. If anyone has a list and pictures this would be a great help. I recently nailed a deer and I need to do some cosmetics to the front but I think a JDM style would be a nice addition to the car. Like a said with a list and pics, I could be one step closer to completing "Project Ressurection".

Do you have a 4 door or a coupe?
I'm not sure what the differences are in the 4 door, but the coupe had different headlights with yellow fog's inside the headlight housing. Not sure if they are 1-piece or not. The bumper also has spray things that spray the headlights when they get dirty. Not sure what the other differences are.

I'm not sure about first gens but I know for the 2nds the JDM engines had more horses than the US so I'd assume it would be the same for the 1st gens...If I remember correctly I think they had 1 piecers for both sedans and coupes!! Deffinitely check out that thread mentioned earlier!!
