wheres the tech?

you could at least tell us where you got the parts, what came up during the install or something....

then again... when i see no tech its like seing no work on a kids math homework. you just had some shop install this on your dime or something?

please post something tech related or post this stuff in A/C

make sure they get posted in Apperance/cosmetic

Or, take the thing off and give us some actual install work pics while you put it back on like you were supposed to in the first place.... we've all seen a jdm front on a crx, what we need is a "I just installed my JDM front and here are an assload of pics to show you the process and problems I ran into."

if you can do that, then many 's are to be had

The front end looks good. Wish there weren't so many whiney babies on here. Always have to bitch about something and tell you the way you should have done this or that. How about a big 'ol STFU!
Good start!

my take on it is this..... i like when people do the frontend conversion BUT!!!! if youre going to do it.....DO IT. too manypeople think there **** is jdm because the did the frontend conversion.....

my respect is given out to those who did the complete molding swap, rear bumper swap. bronze glass conversion....and so on......

ive done alot to my usdm civic hatch... frontend, rearend, rhd and motorswap. but in the end

ITS STILL A USDM CAR.... unless youre **** came stright off the boat.... ur ****'s not jdm..... usdm cars with jdm parts would be a MUT......lol
