Well got mine from some guy in N.y. I traded him two 89 si doors and $300 for it. I got the doors for free, so I got my front for $300. But the only thing i don't have is the hood. I installed the front this week it was easy.

 

what all did you get? you have to have the sir hood to work with the sir headlights. i think i want to do it all or nothing. you have any pics of how it looks now?

 

Yeah you need the hood to work with the long sir light. Because they are a slight bit longer than factory. Yeah i will post up pics soon.

 

help me out guys this cash is burning a hole in my pocket and i want to order this on monday. thanx

 

Hit me with mail. I got a SiR hood in My garage and I'm getting a minimum of 7 SiR conversions in about 2 months.

 

So the JDM conversion bolts right onto a USDM civic?

 

i have heard it is very simple as long as you have all the parts. i am just trying to find a reputable place to deal with.

 

hey i did my front end...its really easy...its all bolt on parts--the only thing you need to change is the front support bar that holds the hood latch and the bumper supports. it took me just 2 hours to take everything off and put everything on and redo the wiring (i'm a slow worker). let me know if you got any ?'s....

here's my car:

I'm getting mine from Don, and I can't wait.

Did you guys have any problems with how the headlights are aimed? How is the visibility at night?

 

hey guys. i'm interested in the SiR Hood & Headlights. I've got a WW RS Kit right now, so what would else would i need to change over my hood and headlights while keeping the WW Bumper?

Thanks...

The WW kit would need to be modified a bit to fit the SiR headlights as they are a little longer than the USDM ones. For the hood you will need the hood latch piece or as many here call it... the upper rad support. it can be done but if you want to use the WW kit that you already have I would suggest getting the parts and getting a shop to carve out the space need on your bumper. I think I have a set of SiR headlights in stock if your interested.

 

Don,

Thanks for the reply..i'll send you an email right after this.

 

do you need to weld the radiator support on like a type r front end??..or just bolt it on???..lemme kno...this is for a 2nd gen ef....thanks...with a ef8 front end....

 

hey clicc916 where did you get your conversion? your car looks perfect, what color is that? hard to tell but it looks like a burnt orange similar to what i am planning to paint my car, once i can locate a front end.

 

the upper radiator support is completely bolt on...its just that middle front piece that holds the hood latch. just take off the bolts and put in the jdm one...easy as pie. i do have visibility problems coz the lights seem to be adjusted too low...does anyone know how to adjust the jdm lights to angle upwards more?

rev-i got my front end from venus auto here in sacramento...the color is decieving at night time. its actually metallic inca gold pearl. it kinda looks like the 2001 civic coupe gold color but its more metallic looking
