There was a thread recently about a guy who was buying a '96-'00 Civic that he was told had a JDM front end. '88-'91 Civics also have JDM front ends as do '06+ Civics. Just a few off the top of my head.

incorrect. plenty of comparisons. its the most common conversion referenced as "jdm frontend" with the exception of EF and FG as stated above. eat it.

no kids here are fandf gangsta kids. or they don't last long if they are. if thats what you think hondas are all about your dead wrong.
who cares unless he's trying to jack the price up cuz of it. it won't make any difference otherwise.

If you can post up photos we can tell you exactly what's going on with this front end.
The '92-'95 Civic sedans all have a different front bumper design than the '92-'95 Civic hatches and '93-'95 Civic coups though. The sedans have one big grille in the bumper while the coupes and hatches have one big grille in the bumper and then to either side of that they have little embellishments where, if so equipped, the foglights would be installed. Foglights didn't come standard on any US '92-'95 Civic.
Unfortunately "JDM" has become a key word to help move cars and parts. It doesn't mean it's even actually JDM.

installing JDM parts is how you tell people "im slow please dont race me, look at my lights, can't you tell it's all for show - no go???"

Re: JDM vs USDM(i cant tell)
It is NOT jdm, it has aftermarket amber sidemarkers and corner lights which people call "JDM" parts.
I see a big blacked out front mount intercooler, so i'm assuming it's turbocharged.
It looks very low, find out what suspension it's lowered on. If it's shitty suspension it's going to ride like complete ****. Coilovers are a plus.

Is he charging you more because its JDM front end? Do you care if its JDM or USDM? Do you like what he is selling and willing to pay for it?

Re: JDM vs USDM(i cant tell)
yes its a GReddy matched turbo setup, yes, its a B18A1 with B1 intake and tb. and it's sittin on 32way adjustable coilovers.
I dont really much care if it's jdm anything, it fits the family friendly functionality, plus its turbo, 5 speed, and on its nuts, so it works for me. and i'll get pics of the bumper and everything else when i look at it. thank you to those of you who are bein helpful

Re: JDM vs USDM(i cant tell)
depending on what your paying for it, it may be a deal
but look around for eg sedans with swaps and compare those prices to his
a jdmED front end has little regard if the parts are ebay
