JDM front end
I was wondering for all of you that have done this, did you repaint your whole car? Or did you just paint the front end the same? If you did the whole car, how much did everything cost? Including the front end,paint,labor, and anything else. Thanks.

It totally depends on the shop ... but always remember ... you get what you pay for.
You may just paint the pieces of the JDM front end, with respect to the rest of your car's paint status.
If you plan to paint the whole car along w/ the front end ... your looking at spending a hefty amount. My friend spent approximately 10 grand total in the end. As you can imagine, his car's end product was "amazing."
I recommend you visit some of your local paint and body shops to shop around for price quotes. Hope I've helped.

j/k dude, i wouldn't ever do that to a teg. but, then i don't see any reason to repaint one if it's paint was taken care of.

Re: JDM front end (TerribleOne)
Paint the whole car.. as much as they say its an exact paint match.. its not! you have to conside the age of the original paint on the rest of the car and how the elements affect the condition of the paint, even if it is babied. Repaint the whole car and it all matches and its all in the same condition. just my .02

Re: JDM front end (IntegraBoy04)
i took my front end peices to a dealer honda/acura body repair shop and they painted it melano red and it matched my car exactly. it was a little expensive but i wanted a quality paint job so the front bumper doesnt flake after driving all the freeways.

Re: JDM front end (Threatcon13)
Because, I want it. But I'm now sure how it will hold up. Plus I'm not sure if I should make my car faster then do that, or do that then the engine. And I have a Green teg, and I have never seena JDM front on a Green one. So I don't know how it will look.
