Default Rather have the JDM ITR or JDM EG6 front end on your EG hatch?

I'm trying to debate on what front end to get.

Importtrenz got the "bolt-on" ITR conversion for the eg hatch, but its fiber glass. http://www.importtrenz.com/cus...age=1 MSRP $2500

Or stay real deal jdm and buy all the jdm eg6 front end parts. Fenders, yellow fogs, spoon cf lip, oem cf hood, jdm headlights and corners. $1200

After the front end, I'm doing the turbo with tax return.

don't convert your car, I'll look nice for about a month, and you'll impress some ricers, but then you'll get sick of it and end up hating it, and you'll probably change it back to stock

Ek front end on an EG looks hot IMO But I tend to be bias since that is what I have

Not a lot I will post what I have but right now it has been in the garage in pieces for the last month while I have been ordering parts. Also the fitment is not the best right now I bought it the way it is in the pics it needs a new hood and bumper at the least they have been beat up pretty well but all in all it is not bad. It will be getting body work and paint in the spring or summer.







Those are the only ones that I took before I took it apart sorry for the poor quality and distance. If you have any other questions about it let me know. BTW it is the 00' front end and a 93 si body.

Wow, you paid 1200 for all that, you got screwed. I paid like 800 for all of it, except I had Mugen V2 lip.

Did anyone else notice that hatch with the ITR front end? Isn't that a member here who lives in Atlanta or NC? He had the full build up here. I wonder if they have the rights?

Yeah the hood is warped a little due to heat, the previous owner never put anything to protect the hood from heat on it. The color is going to be Medium Sprial Gray Metallic, it is a Corvette C5 color looks nice.

The ITR front end on the EG is...

If you have an EG, keep it an EG. I don't see the point of inbreeding different Hondas, or other cars, for that matter (like the S15 front end i've seen on a Civic hatchback)

ralphie14 - The ek front end does look very sexy.

JDM-EJ1 - Where did you find it all for $800 with the CF hood and CF lip? I'm ordering from passwordjdm.com

As for the paint on my car, I might stay silver. If not either gunmetal, y57 yellow (ITR), or that cavalier *spelling* orange.

looks like they stole his picture..........on top of that he used an oem front end to do the conversion which is custom. not some fiberglass conversion.

Definatly don't get ITR. It will look like a show car. Unless, that's what you're going for than thats totally cool. Personally, I'd spend that money on something like reinforcing the chasis or building up the motor a little. Swapping a front end would be cool though, not trying to flame at all.

Here's something intereesting I just noticed. That site looked familiar to me, so I looked in my favorites: http://www.rushkits.com/custom...age=1
Same web design, and the same pic, only they changed the color of the car to black and darkened it. And look at the price difference compared to the "Weight". Just thought it was interesting...
