Any one know how they rose in price within the last year? I remember you can get a brand new OEM one for 1400, now no one's selling it for less than $2400. Anyone know a place or site that offers the best prices on the oem conversion?

 

I never heard of a place so cheap. Maybe missing some pieces?

 

probably bc they have to special order them from ..........JAPAN.

 

Are you looking for a JDM front end conversion, or do you want to convert a GSR to a Type R?

 

Hmm.. yes, I know... it seems as though they raised prices on the importing it to the states or something...

 

For new parts?
$1400 maybe for a "Cali" Kit (Ewww)
$2400 maybe for a fiberglass or used OEM kit

Its always been about the same price, Which IS NOT too far from USDM Nose prices, All the same parts for a USDM Nose comes out to about $2500-2800 Figure in customs shipping etc from japan and its not so far off

Same with JDM SR3 Recaro seats Everyone is always saying that they are So expensive ($2000 a seat) Well USDM ITR Seats are $1600 each

And thats the same with the majority of parts people think Oh its JDM its going to be a much much higher price, well No USDM counterparts are just as much, JDM is usually a few dollars more after you price in customs shipping and the like.

Hope I didnt come off as an *******, I just get this response of "Oh JDM parts are so much more" all the time.

 

Agreed

And not to sound like an ******* either but it's not a Type-R conversion.

 

Actually Almost all the people Order the Type R version which has the black housing headlights and the front lip

 

why buy one to start with?? it does nothing performance wise for your car... spend that money on something more useful.

 

I see your point...but It is beautifull, a whole dif car.

I would have one myself...but 3k

 

Yeah...they are nice to look at

 

Why buy a Type R, it's not the best car in the world...spend that money on a better car.

 

well, it's still not a Type R conversion, as he said...we already have Type R's...it's a JDM conversion...

 

ha ha, that was a good one... but lets stick to the topic. nobody asked you what you thought about a type r, the topic is about type r front ends. i was simply saying that it's a fock'n waste of money in my opinion if it doesn't make you or the car faster...

 

All the pieces are made of fiberglass from a local manufacterur but includes JDM Black housing headlamps. You can order them from http://www.importtrenz.com .

 

because its pointless

 

Fiberglass sucks

Only reason I got the conversion is someone hit my car lightly, But enough that I had to replace a few panels and I decided it was a good time to do the conversion.

 

Get the OEM sheetmetal. It's not worth the savings to get fiberglass.

 

The reaon for going JDM conversation is, cause there is no REAL kit for the USDM version to improve lower air resistance. You can buy bumpers from CRUX, Mugen, etc, to have more downforce........For USDM there are only bumpers for looks and not performance out there.

 

pricing might fluctuate with exchange rates and shipping costs.

with the advent of the dc5, how long will honda japan still produce jdm bodywork for the non-roundeye dc2?

 

thast the only way i am gonna do it. if some one hits me and soes the right amout of damage to need a new front end the i am going JDM all the way. other wise i am not going to spend the money
