Default jdm front clip worth it?

https://www.tigerjapanese.com/...d=840
would that be worth the money? i need the fenders, bumper, hood, engine and tranny.
really don't care about it being all jdm or what ever just want to get the car in better shape than it is now.

A little off topic but what is the difference between the USDM and JDM front bumpers? I've yet to figure it out...

Might as well go ahead and make your car RHD while you're at it.

specifically I've bought a "nose cut" from tigerjapanese before, I really just needed the bumper (to swap for the mugen bumper, while retaining my own stock bumper in case everything went foul, because I needed to paint it a different color). In any case, dealing with tiger was great, however from a small photo I picked the least damaged looking bumper, and explained I wanted the one with fogs and that the jdm headies interested me too (although I already had a set I could resell them to make back some of my money) - well everything arrived fine, except one of the jdm headies was smashed on the corner light - so I lost some of my "sell back value" in any case, tiger japanese were pretty cool about it, and refunded me 100 bucks on my 299 purchase. which really for all the **** you get on a nose cut ain't bad. anyways what i'm getting at is that their customer service gets a thumbs up. I'd buy there again, the shipping is steep but look what you are trucking across the country!

The major weight and size difference in the bumper supports.

that would be so awkward, i'd proboly just sell the rhd dash, like i said not into all those jdm shenanigans but this seems better than trying to find an 92 prelude at my local junk yard that just happens no to have been wrecked in the front.

Good price and I have only heard good things about that company. However, I have noticed that many state that they will not cover damage to the hood and fenders since they are only selling the parts inside of the engine bay.

Hope it all works out for you.
