Ok guys, so here's my question. I have a 97 ITR, number 391. It's basically stock, with a few exceptions such as

h&r type-r lowering springs (still have oem ones)
jdm champ white 16" itr honda rims
jdm red recaro seats
spoon rotors
a few internal engine modifications
msd ignition
aem cai
aftermket deck (still have oem one)
alarm/immobilizer

I mean this thing doesn't even have tint on the windows. (which is good imo)
Car has never been stolen, never had damage over $2000, etc.

SHOULD I BE DOING A JDM FRONT END CONVERSION or just leaving it as is?

this is your opinions only, i already have my opinion but i'd like to see what others think

 

97's are a rare breed.......

however, if you decide to, PLEASE sell me your bumper

but if it was me, keep it 97. im in the process of turning mine bact to the original 97 form.

 

Agreed! Leave it as is. 97's are a very rare breed. Also, it simply a cosmetic mod. Save that money and put it towards something else like your house, or if you dont have a house save it for a house downpayment.

If the caR's not hit why bother? I guess I don't get it

 

how does the JDM front get boring?
(I was thinking about getting the front this summer)
I always thought that JDM on CW looked so nice

i dunno, never liked the '97 front that much, but I guess it does stand out cuz its pretty rare

There's a few of us who don't quite get it.

 

There's only so many '97 ITR lips, and '97s are rare themselves, I say keep it unless you're missing the front lip and/or you rear-end someone or some other misfortune that destroys your front end.

 

If it required money, no. If it was free, I'd still have to think about it and say bye to racing DS.

 

id keep it stock! JDM front looks really nice, and I like the H.I.D's
but nothing beats a clean and Stock R

 

The circle lights look good when the cars really low. So just get some ground controls and drop the car a little more and your set

I personally like the 98+ lights, but i guess the 97 front lights look okay.

JDM front end does look better though, you cant really argue about that. But for the money, its not worth it. BIG waste of money unless u get hit by someone else and their insurance is paying for it.

Sure I can, it doesn't look better. It just became popular as with most everything else JDM because we didn't get it.

Funny and ironic how the folks in the land of the rising sun get USDM fronts imported for conversions.

This I agree with but imo even if I got hit I'd go back to US OEM. But that's just me.

 

Not many 97 owners go JDM Front because it is indeed a dying rare breed, and i'd say quit it stock

 

its just simple economics, decrease supply; increase demand

 

I agree with everyone saying to keep it a 97.
