Good job so far, i didn't think it would line up at ALL, but you made it look good man.

Hood only sticks up like half inch and since its cf you can't even tell. Any plans on a drop?

 

huh? hood doesnt stick up. it looks like that cuz the usdm bumper sits lower than the JDM bumper, plus it doesnt have the rubber molding under it which fills the 1/2" gap above the headlights. the car is dropped already. drop is 2" , coilovers on KYB AGX. theres not much left to do to this car.

 

I mean it sticks to the front, its longer it seems.

 

I c what youre sayin. yea. the JDM front is longer cuz the bumper is rounder.

 

car looks good

 

for a texas rex Nice going man

what rims are those on the white rex

 

Question can I see the usdm hood with JDM headlights and bumper while i await my CF JDM hood?

 

so lemme get this straight..you can bolt up the JDM headlights and rad supp., without the hood and fenders??

 

he put the JDM HOOD and HEADLIGHTS on it,and used his existing USDM fenders, corners, and bumper. you dont need to swap jdm fenders (they are the same, except they have teh sidemarkers, and the corners are the same as the usdm ones also) so all he needs now is the bumper with bumper lights. also you dont need the jdm rad support/hoodlatch. a couple washers works

 

i donno which i like better the red or the white......ahh **** it they're both nice and i'm super jealous....im closer to japan that all you folks and i still dont have ANYTHING oem jdm on my car....sad isn't it

can someone confirm this?

I had always thought a JDM front conversion REQUIRED the JDM fenders and JDM rad support.

 

Size wise, fenders are the same, x-cept for some features, but he did mention that the core support is JDM so. it should all fit, but will not fit snug until he slaps on the JDM ef 8(bumper)

I think it MAY work with the USDM rad support cuz on this "JDM" one i bought for it i had to use washers AND bend it back some. I had a full JDM front before but was an idiot and sold the bumper. all im missin is the bumper only, I have the wrap around blinker lights already. heres the black one i used to have.

thnx for the info..ive got access to the headlights, and hood, so I'm thinking of picking them up minus the fenders + radd support and going for the VIS mugen replica

 

thats what i did on my old grey rex except i used the JDM rad support

 

Doesn't this essentially mean you can fit a JDM CRX front bumper on a US front end?
