so i met a kid at school his friend had a LS who ordered a JDM front end conversion.. Has the HIDS and a stock non CF hood...he totaled his car before he got the kid so now he just wants some money he said 500 i told him 300 sight unseen he said ok...

this worries me bc arnt they like 1500$??

if everythings legit how is installation i heard theres cutting and welding involved... what would a shop charge to do this? est?

ahh naa... what about the fact that hes selling it for 300? and local shops bc idk if i feel like doing that how much from a local shop anyone have an idea?

 

300 cant go wrong

 

Yes, full JDM front are about 1k to 2k.

If he's accepting $300, it could be the deal of a lifetime or he's trying to scam you.

Simple answer, ask him where he bought it from and ask him to give you any receipts for it. Then call the shop where he claims he bought it from and verify. Get an ETA for delivery.

If everything checks out; give the guy $100 deposit and tell him he'll get the rest when the clip arrives. When you give him a deposit, make a simple bill of sale with the terms of the agreement. Document everything. If he tries to scam you, you can take the paperwork to small claims and you'll easily win.

I know it seems overkill for only $300 bucks, but it's simple tasks like these that will cover your *** if he tries to pull some **** on you.

 

i can go pick it up no shipping . Are there knockoff versions of the JDM front that say dont fit as well? i guess case closed i have to see what he has 1st bc 300$ to me seems to good to be true

 

Do not get fiberglass fenders. They are horrible.

 

the parts might not be authenic JDM parts, meaning they are fiberglass replicas. Authenic OEM Metal parts for the ITR conversion do run up in the thousands range. but then again he may not know the value of his parts. who knows.. just check it out =0)

 

ya for sure i should know by tomrrow so ill let u guys kno what the deal is

 

ok so i just talked to the guy over the phone. Its not true JDM parts, but its metal hood and fenders, and a polyurathane front bumper, also comes with grill, and headlights he said he has to check to see if they were HID or not...


what u guys think is this a true steal for 300$ and i get to pick it up?

 

bump

 

if all the parts are there ie radiator support, headlights, fenders, grill, hood, and whatever else, do it.... non- hid headlights alone are 3 to 6 bills dependng on condition...

 

I would def. go for it, if you wanted, you could sell it and make a profit...

 

id say you buy it and then sell me some parts! i need hood headlights and bumper.. ill offer more than what youre buying it for just so you can make some extra cash =D

 

haha well were gunna have to see what cost is to get it on vs reselling it and im about to boost so im leaning towards resell ill Lyk

 

fenders alone run $300. id be sceptical! go look/ get pictures before you give him .01

 

I work at a body shop and that would cost u about $1300 for installation and paint. This is to weld the new radiator support, replace the hood, bumper cover, fenders, and headlights. I don't think i missed anything, but yea not too cheap.
