Default Easy question for R owners.

If money played no part in the decision would you have a JDM front installed on your R or would you leave it in stock US trim?
This is only about the exterior, I know most of us would want JDM parts on the inside...

Just curious.



Personally I like the US front end...

I like the USDM front end. It would be nice if the headlights were HID though.

Hmm, if it was free there's a good chance I would have gotten it. Then again, maybe i'd just get the parts and sell them to make some money

people put the JDM front end on to signify that their R has been in a front end collision.

after I bought my JDM R front-end, I looked at it for awhile, then 2 months later I wanted to see how it looked on my car, which end up at the body shop the next day, Then I realized I was $2000 down the hole, with a 2000 front-end taking up space. Oh well, I thought. Life is full of regrets.

I think I prefer the JDM front but even if money wasn't an issue I don't think I'd do it unless my USDM front was damaged. I don't like the idea of having major bodywork done on an undamaged caR.

I did get my JDM front for free from an accident. That's why I now have it.

I think if they offered the USDM front with OEM HID's, my answer would have been different. Wish I could get this out of my HID's:
