W/e one you feel more comfortable with?

The only thing you're comparing really is a fresh paint job,
vs a shitty paint job with a jdm front end.


I would think a JDM fronted teg in cali would be more likely to get stolen.

being that your in cali. a jdm front end may be easier to source than say someone from georgia like me. i love the jdm front end but ls engines are a dime a dozen. so i would covet the gsr. put some ctr cams in it and some bolt ons and it would be an extremely fun car. or boost the stock ls motor. thats just me. good luck

id say go with gsr with usdm front. imo jdm fronts are only nice on red tegs w/ shaved side moldings and dropped.

jdm front for sure. the gsr has a lot of miles and you can always do a swap in the ls. sell the gsr and drop a type r in the ls. now you got a jdm front type r with a sunroof haha. plus if your just trying to flip it an make some cash people always go crazy for the jdm front so it would be worth a few more g's than a usdm gsr and it will sell fast

take all the best parts (JDM front, GSR engine, etc..) and put it all on one car and then sell the other one! You'll get the best of both worlds.

Good idea...I'm not personally big on the GSR vtec setups, I like my slower torqueier ls motor, but then again, I dont like jdm fronts

keep the one with the jdm front. at least here in pa its easier to sell a more stock looking car (USDM) plus with a new paint job a jdm front teg will look sexy!

jdm front would sell more..even if it is a ls. i see clean ls jdm fronts sell for 7000$+ and usdm gsr's sell for 4500$+ and the ls has lower miles. do the jdm front if your trying to flip it.
