Default Optional OEM sides and rear with JDM front end, yay or nay.

I am currently having my CW R completely repainted with my new JDM front end. I have the option oem sides and rea valences for the car. I see most of you guys run the stock sides and no rear valences with the JDM front. The more and more I look at it, I am stating to think the optional sides and rear dont match the JDM front end. What do you guys think?

i've seen tons of teg owners run the sides with the rears. actually, because lately it's been the in thing. i think if you go with the sides go with the rears too. try searching other sites for pics, you'll definitely see what your car will look like with jdm front with sides and rear. with my jdm front i'm running the wings west mugen style sides with the wings west rear. can't wait to see pics.

keep it and be original not like all the lemmings with cheap knockoffs or just not have it at all. jdm itr didnt use the optional sideskirts and rear valance because of weight reduction. only the lower models had the sideskirts and rear valance as an option.

just sell the optional sides and rear valance to me.

Last year 01 JDM R in Japan came standard with both side and rear since they want to get rid of most of the left over parts before discontinue DC2R from production.

with the usdm front the lip is thicker and the lines contour better with the optional sides and rear valances... IMO i think the jdm front end flows better with the stock itr sides and rear...

good luck

The more and more I see it, the factory kit seems to only look good with the USDM front. it doesnt look like it flows with the JDM front end. I guess I will have the factory kit for sale soon.
