Default Project rice to nice

Well after someone ran into my teg while it was parked in a parking lot(not sure how that happens) i decided to do a JDM front end conversion. Going into it i didn't think it would be as much work as it turned out to be. Mainly since the kit i got looked like someone dropped it off of a truck and ran it over then threw it back on the truck along with having to buy lil parts that wur missing here and there made it hell. A ton of body work was needed. I have done alot of body work in the past and i didn't think i could get it all straightened out so originally i took it to the body shop before i did the body work and they didn't even want to touch it. They said it would cost over 1500 buck to fix the hood and fenders so i took it back home and did it myself. I still have alot to do but im good with how it is for now. The paint jobs before the jdm conversion i did my self but i don't have access to a body shop anymore so i had a place here in town spray it. The pix start from old to new.

Big improvement! Looks great. If it were me I would go with some JDM rims but a
1" smaller diameter.
I've never seen those side markers on the JDM bumper before?

They were an upgradable option overseas. They are called intersection lights. One of them were broken when i got the front end and i had to pay an extra 200 bucks to replace it. I personally would've liked it w/o them but i haven't seen anyone else around here with them which is cool to have something to make it stand out from the rest. Im actually looking at getting a set of bronze rota wheels in 17s. I have 18s on it now.
