Now i have been contemplating doing the JDM front end for about a year now but suddenly felt a change of heart. I feel that the usdm front gives the Dc's a stubbier look which i like and JDM fronts give more of a duckbill look. Money is a tad bit tight since ive just begun this itnegra project. im looking to do black out interior and suspension then maybe a turbo in the future. i think i lost my lust for the JDM fronts. maybe you guys can help me lgo int he right direction. Im doing ITR front lip either way and optional sides and rear on a 99 DC4. In the end i know its my decision but thought i cang et some input. no jdm front means i can save up towards other parts. but jdm just has that cool factor and oem HIDs

 

get the is300 conversion looks cleaner

 

I almost parted my car out to go with a dc shell and itr front end..

 

usdm will prolly get stolen less often

 

I'd keep it the USDM front end, save the money and boost the car.

jdm front end but thats just me.
i did the jdm front becasue i like and no one local had it, but i still loved the way my usdm looked.

 

jdm front end gets my vote......

 

jdm front end is played out.. be original.. do what you WANT to do

 

JDMDC2GSR usdm front end makes me want to keep my usdm front end

yeah i know, sometimes it made me wish i never jdm fronted it.

but im picking up an R this week and I still have my HID's so I'll have the same thing just white this time

 

It's a hard decision in my Opinion the JDM front looks sophisticated and sleek and the "US" front looks aggressive

 

honestly, take a look at some threads here and try to make your mind that way, cause its up to you really.

but for me, i think the jdm front end on 'tegs looks like pure sex. i absolutely love them, if i can afford a second honda project, i'd be a teg with jdm front in a flash. or a midori ek

 

JDM front ends are NOT rare anymore....... They are played out!!!!!!!!

^^ i agree u see jdm fronts everywhere now, just stick with ur usdm front and buy something else nice

 

**** we don't see any JDM fronts here in Wisconsin, but I still voted for the clean USDM front.

i agree.

i have never seen a jdm front up here in portland OR. maybe i dont get out much...lol.

 

i was in the same situation as you too once before, i stuck with the USDM front and spent the money on a fully built GSR making 550whp

the JDM front is becoming a bandwagon

 

well i like different aspects of m=both the jdm and usdm, they both have their pluses. i am piecing together my set cause i have a hard time saving a large sum of money which is better for me to build up. and i have yet to see a jdm front end here in pa. in CA it may be everywhere, but everywhere else int he US jdm fronts are rare. the only 2 jdm's ive seen were at the sema show inf ort washington.

yea, theres like 5 of us in my group with integras and 3 of the 5 have JDM fronts, i'm the only one making real power

 

The only jdm fronted dc i see regularly is mine. It's not too often i see another jdm fronted dc around my area, but that's just me. I suggest doing what you want, it's your car and your money.

 

I like the JDM front more, but that's not really what the poll is about! For this dude's situation, I think a JDM front is pointless. The 98+ USDM with OEM lip/sides can look just as good, and it saves a ton of money.
