well if you plan on keeping the car for awhile it isn't a waste but if you plan on upgrading to a better car in the next 5 years, save your money. i know i used to think id hold onto my auto for awhile, but it only took me a year to get sick of it and go for the GS-R

who cares if its auto? if you want a jdm front end, by god, do it. do you really need to seek the approval of h-t? it sounds like you want it, so go for it.

Just do it if you like it. Like wut .brian. said, you don't need our approval for it. Its not like H-T members are gonna donate you the money to do the JDM Converseration. Your money your call. Hey I used to drive a JDM front Auto Teg for about 4 years till I wanted more from my car so I converted to manual.

+ I know 2 ppl personally that drive JDM auto Tegs + seem some around

i mean if the fact that its an auto makes a difference, do the 5spd conversion then do the front end conversion; or vice-versa. or just leave it an auto and make it LOOK nice. up to you. but the 5spd will make your car more fun to drive, the front end will only make it LOOk fun to drive.

goodluck on whatever you decide

i think expensive aesthetic mods like that are a waste of money on any car. clear corners and tint are one thing, but spending a couple of grand purely for looks?! make NO sense to me. but it's your car, do what you want.

i think auto's are gay.. i'd only drive an auto if it was a luxury car. it all depends, do you drive auto just because or because you cant drive stick? if you can drive stick then its coo, if you cant drive stick go learn how to drive stick, then fix up your auto. dont know if that seems logical, but think about it

Exactly. Why would the auto matter? If it really bugs you, get a manual in your car like I did!

it's your car.. u should do whatever u like. customizing a car is a reflection of your personality dont let people get u down for doing things that you like.. haters can't be choosers.. and they definitely don't appreciate the lengths people go to be different than the rest..

if u plan to change cars anytime soon or if u want to get something manual transmission they u may want to hold off on the front end..

haha. my friend said the same thing. he was like, if you want a jdm front end, you better do a 5spd conversion.

i was like. who cares.

anyways, i decided to use the money i was about to spend on the front end into changing my ride to a 5speed turbo LS.

let u know how it goes real soon.
