now im debating from the two, what exactly is the difference from the two? type r seems more pricey then the sir-g. But they seem to look the same.

 

type r headlights - black housing

sir-g headlights - chrome housing

front lip is different

Is there any advantage on having either one?

 

nope...except that the itr one may look better due to the fact it has the black housing headlights..but you can always swap out the sir-g ones for the black housing ones, or even the HID ones.

pretty much the same, so the sir-g is cheaper, but then again you'll end up spending extra $$ just to get black housing and a lip, which will ultimately cost more then the type r or around the same? i assume, so might as well go with a type r then right?

 

type r is better then sir-g. reason why is becuase the type r headlight is black housing. cost more then the sirg. Sirg headlight is clear price is lower the the type r.. also sir doesnt come with the jdm itr lip, and the the type r comes with a lip

 

if you do get the sir-g, there is a writeup on this board for how to make DIY black housing headlights from chrome SIR-G headlights.. other than that you won't get the HIDs or the lip

 

you can just slap ITR lip though on the sir-g right?

 

yes you can, but jdm itr lip cost 250 or even more

hmo price for jdm front end

type r 1650 with black housing and lip

sirg 1300... no lip, no black housing

what do you prefer? no doubt type r is a better deal cuz black housing headlight cost way more the sirg but is up to you i got a type r and i love black housing, sir g doesnt look right

 

BTW any one know a "how to install type r front end" thread on here or any where, i did my search can't seem to find one.

yea that sinful guy had it on his car, but the lip is not the same. the height of the lip is different. the oem 1 make your car drop 1 inch lower then the jdm ****. plus jdm **** is out of stock. i call them already, they wont be having it til another week or so

 

if i have a choice. i pick type r over sirg. with 350 more i can get a lip and black housing headlight. instead of buying a type r aftermarket lip, and DIY your paint, which can cause the headlight to fog later on

 

Thanks guys for the input!!, very helpful on my decision. I have a couple of friends who can get me the front end, not sure yet on a price quote. Most likely get the non hid ones, but the again i can just get the type r with non hid, and just buy aftermarket hids like mculloch or sumtin right? the light output and all, won't look the same but i mean it has projector lights on the non hid's right??

F*ck it might as well, i mean if you gotta do it once u gotta do it right!... Thanks guys appreciate it !!

 

just get non hid. hid is overrated cop pull your *** over depend on your hid kit also. if is too bright and you cant see **** fixing tix .. depend on your setup but o well is your money if you can beat 1650 get it, if not pick up from hmo. their **** is clean with complete frotne nd
