Default JDM front end

Here's the deal, I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.
After winter i'm lookinn to purchase a ITR from the states and have been really wanting one with a JDM front end conversoin already completed.

My Question is, Will this front end pass the federal/provincial safties?

If done right, most people do their J Fronts shitty by removing all the supports from the USDM front, and wonder why is totals it in 5mph fender benders...

Which is why you only do the T-Bar and modify your bumper bar to fit.

Lots of good info.

Although will it pass saftey?

Last thing i wanna have to do is have to buy a stock front end and install just for it to pass saftey then have to swap back the jdm front.

It's not a bad backup plan... I've never caught any heat from having mine.... But I'm sure if somebody wanted to be a dick they could...

Wrong. Do it right and have a body shop replace your USDM T-Bar with a JDM and modify your bumper bar.

if they look closely, the headlights are NOT dot approved, so that might be a problem, you might be able to get some knockoff headlights though? not sure, why dont you just go down to whatever shop is going to do the safety and ask them exactly what they check for, just tell them your story, they should help you out..

What part of saskabush are you from? i got a brother that lives there.

Why does the car have to be from the States? There are plenty of ITRs up here on sale with a JDM front already. This way you won't even have to deal with a potential headache.
