search newbie, search.

But it'll cost around 2.5~3k. Don't get fiberglass.
Try the best buy forums and classifieds here, then thepartstrader.com and so on.
You might even be lucky and find used ones for sale.

thats just for parts alone. expect a very NICE professional OEM looking paintjob + install to run another 2100-2600

total i think somewhere above 5000

For OEM Metal Kit, you are looking at around $2900-3300 for the Non-OEM HID kit, and ~$4000 for the OEM HID kit.... After you get your parts, prepare to pay anywhere from $1800-2600 for paint/install.... It's big bucks, but well worth it.

Just for the headlights, cost will be about $550-$750 for the non-hid lights and than whatever the body shop charges to make them fit.

Ummm, you are going to need the JDM fenders, bumper, radiator support, etc.. (Everything that comes with the JDM Conversion kit) to make them fit.

First of all, I would like you to explain how you do not need the other JDM parts, and how exactly they are installed.. And Second of all, Fast and Furious was a "decent" movie, but it is the main reason why I as well as many other import owners are now profiled and pulled over.. Ever seen a muscle car have his hood popped on a routine stop?

You cut up a USDM bumper and mount the lights.

That's all.

That's how you do a headlight conversion.

Yes it won't look like a JDM front, but some people don't care about that. Cost is an issue for some and they're will to "cut corners" to achieve a look that they think is nice and can afford.

Would I do it? No, but that doesn't mean I care what anyone else does. Whatever floats your boat...
