About ready to slap on my itr front end. Do I need to buy any extra parts such as a new hood latch cable , jdm fender brackets etc. Passwordjdm has several brand new peices for the conversion such as jdm headlight harness, do I need all that stuff? I currently have core/radiator support, headlights, hood, bumper w/oem lip, and fenders with sidemarkers. I want to make the install as painless as possible for my friend lol

 

hard to say...

Tell me about it, I just did a search, some people said the jdm fender bracket stiffens up the fenders and makes it a better fit. Oh well my friend is going to do the install, he's a good body shop guy. Giving him my 98 front end for the install. I just dont want to mikey mouse **** just because of some missing/wrong parts.

 

if it didn't come with the cable then u will need to get a da cable. just use the cable only and attach it to your stock latch under the dash. as for the fender bracket u really don't need it for the install itself. but it is nice to have. and for your headlights, if it didn't come with the harness then u will need to get that brown plug.

 

its not gonna stiffen it up like u stated. its already attached to your headlight. its pretty much not going anywhere. but like i said its nice to have, but u really don't need it.

 

I see, do you have the brackets on your front end? Looks pretty clean btw.

 

thanks. and yes i have it, but it came with it. but on my black one i don't have it.

 

You have a link to your blue car, I saw it before but I cant find it now.

 

route the hood cable inside the bay and you dont need a new one. But if wire tucking is your thing then yes, get a new hood latch cable

 

you can use a DA hood coble or make it short that you can open it just throught bumper cover

lol I dont care much for the whole wire tucking craze

 

just get a da hood latch and hodd latch cable. it's not that expensive from the junkyard. i got both for $20

 

I ran mine through the bay. You only see about 4 inches of it.

The only thing i wish mine had were the inner fender liners. I'll have to pick those up off Password.

Any advantages of having the fender lining?

 

just a cleaner look thats all. its more of a proper fit.

 

Yep...that way you don't see all my intercooler piping from the back/side of the car.
