i was wondering what would be cheaper for a conversion. buying it seperate or buying a complete kit? while im at it, what would be the best place to get a kit?

i was also wondering if i need to move any of the things under my hood in order to do my conversion. Sorry, im new at this stuff.

what i have so far:
stock 2001 integra ls

 

i would just recomend getting the full conversion.. cuz u most likely have a bunch of misc. items that come with it (screws, brackets)....good place to get one might be hmotorsonline.com i heard they have tehm but ur gonna have to call them..try also jdmland.com or jdmtheory.com.. if u get an hid conversion then u have to move ur abs unit back a lil bit.. and i think headlight is gonna run into the winshield fluid resevoir.. luckily i have one for sale for the hid front!!!

 

a 2001 abs unit should work with HIDs with no problem

 

hmm..thanx..ill check them sites out

edit: yea.. i just checked out my engine bay and it has plenty of room by the abs

is it true you have to weld the new radiator on?

 

i looked on jdmland.com and heres what their package came with. its non-HID though


1. 1 X Hood Assembly (not painted)
2. 1 X Left Fender, 1 X Right Fender (not painted)
3. 1 X Bumper (not painted)
4. 1 X Bumper Support Bumper Extension
5. 1 X Bumper Support Bumper Reinforcement Bar
6. 1 X Radiator Support
7. 1 X Front Grill (Championship White)
8. 1 X Left and Right Headlights - Black Housing NON HID
9. 1 X Set of Left and Right Side Markers
10. 1 X Left and Right Headlight Lamp Covers - Hard to Find!
11. 1 X Left and Right Fog Lamp Covers - Hard to Find!
12. 1 X Left and Right Headlight Seals - Hard to Find!
13. 1 X Left and Right Fender brackets - Hard to Find!
14. 1 X Front Lip spoiler (not painted)

since it come with a radiator support (#6) i guess you dont have to weld it on

 

Yea you should try places like HKC-speed.com very good i bought mine from them, great people, give authentic parts and in very decent shape

 

hmm..hkc-speed.com also has lower prices than all the other places i looked at

 

for jdmland
anyways..juss get the whole clip all at once

 

TRY... http://WWW.JPRMOTOR.COM... THEY HAVE A LOT OF STUFF.. AND CHEAPER THAN ALMOST ANNYWHERE IVE LOOKED..

 

yes you have to welf in the new radiator support

 

http://shop1.jdmtheory.com/pro...8de62

2100 for HID.

 

well i know the one at jdmtheory is HID but i dont know about the one one jpr motorsport. i can always ask my friend to weld the radiator support.

 

i just bought a hid front conversion from jdmtheory and the headlights and fenders were hella clean except for the hood. the edge of the hood at the driver was bent and i have to hammer it with a rubber mallet. i bought it for 2400 shipped.

 

hmm..and you live in merced. so it should be around 2400 for me too then. just hope everything i get is hella clean ill post pics when i get the conversion done. (its gonna be a while..a long while)

dang..hella cheap..i can probably go there and pick it up myself

 

bump...anyone else have any other places i can check out before i order?

 

pm'ed

 

jdmtheory.com is good the owners name is geoff, hes a cool guy in south SF......if you want to go cheap youcan purchase fiberglass fendors from venus-auto body in sacramento, google them..... I paid $180/fendor from jdmtheory, free CF hood (friend), $250 rad support (venus auto), $200 lights(used craigslist very nice), and $175 for my bumper.....almost as much as a full kit.....my fendors are sheet metal though tha real deal...

 

first talk to the seller before you buy. see if it in good condition. i talked with that geoff dude before i bought my conversion and everything turned out in good condition. fenders is used but no dents or anything on it. venus auto says all there parts have dents but fixable and its only 1800 for the hid front. see i want good quality parts not some dented up ones. even though i paid 2400 for mine i was pretty satified with my front when it arrived. remember you get what you pay for.

 

yea..i want good quality stuff for the money that im spending...
i think ill look around to find a good deal somewhere before i buy

 

since i cant use IM yet ill post it here for TYPERRER

"a type r front end (hid) and my zip is 95212. im just looking around for the best price i can afford atm."

I dont have HID front end at this moment...pretty rare now.....but what I have is NON HID (Black housing) Type R front end and GSR as well (SiR-G). Shipped from Montreal, ITR-around 1600, SiR-G - around 1200. ITR w/HIDs would be around 1900.

 

hmm..ill take some time to think. should i get a nonHID and then convert it or just get a HID one?
