Wondering how much everyone paid for dc2 jdm front + installation. On a budget..deciding on ls jdm front or type r shell no jdm front. Which route would be cheapest? thanks.

 

You can Find deals on anything, so it really just depends, can you be a little more specific on what you want to do ? might help a little

 

If you search you'll find that I posted a thread about this a month+ back. The mean estimate was around ~$4000 for parts, install, and paint. Find that thread.

 

just want a clean teg with itr front. Just trying to figure out which route would be cheaper. LS w/ itr front...would have to buy 5 lug. Type r shell w/o jdm front. Dont know how much jdm front +installation would be tho. any tips/info?

 

LS with itr front....or Type-R with JDM front....What do you mean by ls with itr front...Why dont you buy my Type-R...it has a Type-R front...technically

 

sorry if i wasnt specific. want JDM front.

 

well N1 concepts is gonna have a black weds sale the 21st 900 for JDM front end

 

Less than $500 for a complete almost new HID front

 

Doostur find me a non HID passenger side headlight. Mine's cracked.

 

I can ask my friend but he got out of the honda scene for damn Nissan. Have you tried some of the companies like N1?

 

Nah, I haven't really looked around much. It's been cracked for a couple years, just hasn't been on the top of my list of priorities. I figured since you're over there maybe you could find something cheaper than $300.

 

I have seen a few on hondamarketplace too.

 

n1 concepts is a good reputable place to buy from?

 

Uhh yea you can say that.

$900 is only for a jdm front with chrome housing lights. if you want non hid black housing lights, they said $1400 and oem HID I am assuming will cost about $1700. I called to verify.

 

the more time you put in the less money you put out.
i waited and ended up trading mister_rob on h-t my USDM front end in PY for his JDM front end in PY and 1000$ on my end. did the core support swap and wiring myself and saved big on car insurance.
but my other friend ended up shelling out 2800$ for his JDM front on his 96 black GSR. dropped it off at a bodyshop and wrote a check.

 

i paid 1500 shipped for my JDM ITR nonhid front end from Jhot Imports. and i did the installation.
LS w/ jdm front would be cheaper IMO. you should go with RS(no sunroorf) and do a jdm front. its no ITR but you can make it look like it. have the look of a ITR w/ jdm front and still be cheaper than a itr w/ no jdm front. just my .02 cents

 

Maybe someone can answer this for me. I've noticed on alot on F/E swaps and it seems to be 2 kinds of bumpers. They pretty much look the same except for the area in the center where a tag can be mounted and then the other is smooth. Different year JDM models?
I prefer the smooth bumper myself. Just think it's looks cleaner. .02$

are you talking about where you mount the license plate?

i think that there is only 1 style for the jdm front bumper. the ones you probably saw that was all smooth was most likely shaved. but correct me if im wrong

 

You might be thinking of BYS... Check this thread.

If not that, then probably just shaved OEM.

Didn't realize n1 was so pricey.

yeah thats right. out of all the jdm fronts ive seen on the "DC w/ jdm front thread", I've only seen like 1 or 2 with no license plate mount. and 1 of them was a photoshop. i would think that if you could get a bumper w/ no lic. mount that you would see a lot more around and probably be more popular. but thats just what i think
