Default DA9 With DC2 JDM Front End

Is this possible? I heard there was one on here somewhere, but couldnt find it, anyone have a link to the thread with it?
Has anyone seen this done, pictures?

Like could u buy the whole front clip, and weld it to the DA chassis?

I coulda sworn it was a guy who just did all the body work to make the JDM ITR headlights fit, and not the entire JDM ITR DC2 front end.

anything can be done with the right amount of fabrication.

Seen it done before and the only thing you're going to do by doing this 'conversion' is attract thieves. Nowadays you don't want to bring on the attention..besides we're talking a few thousand dollars here. Use that money for something else. Get some jdm one pieces, a clean lip, and call it a day

modding your car in general attracts attention all together so it doesnt matter...

if its going to happen, its going to happen.... the minute you put rims on your car, the neighborhood theif is going to know there is more to come.. the minute you throw on a cf or fiber glass or polly lip, they know theres going to be more.

but i guess i can see where you're coming from. i just see it as, the minute you make modifications to your car, or have a sought over car.. such as the gsr or itr powerplant, or maybe even k series.. you're a hit right away.. modifications just make it that much worse..

if you dont have one of those 3 power plants.. the simple modifications right away register you in the "come jack me, im fixed up" contest...

Yeah, its a vicious circle though...



I remember one night, around the time that pic was taken, i smoked a type R... and was 75% less likely to be jacked then now...
But i had to feed my ego, i got down when i would go to meets and people would just walk past my car like its nothing..

With fabrication ( just like everyone else said ) it is possible. But what I'm worried about is the dimensions of it all. Just by eyeing it...it won't be a simple cut and replace.
It may take more money to do than its actually worth. But...hey...its your car and your money. If you decide to do it....bring it to a professional so that it gets done right!

The way that DA was done.....was the HOTTEST DA I'd EVER SEEN. Its sure to bring home some trophies at car shows JUST for the pure amount of work he put in it and the way it came out! IMHO...the car looks hot enough as it is. Someone photoshop a hole in there Let's see if its better
