Default *twist*...jdm-front to US-front swap

what would the chances be of finding a FBP-ITR in socal willing to swap a US-front + $1500 and get a JDM-front(oem HID's) in return??? pretty slim, eh?

Actually I would say your chances are really good if anyone in SoCal has $1500...

It is already painted...so someone with a FBP car can get a JDM front end with HIDs for $1500. Where are you going to get a better deal than that?

Though I never post them, I too have thought about this many times over. But I am also curious: Why do you want to change Koy?

I would do it provided the JDM front was painted. Oh yeah, we'd have to meet halfway too

Maybe he's selling all his possessions and becoming a fulltime 'The artist formerly known as Price' stalker.

LOL...naw, the stalking/lifestyle is reserved for my friend...i just like his music...


if i need to act fast and sell the car:

jdm-front = the stress of many lookers not buyers...wishy-washy buyers...long sell process...

us-front = acura dealer will take for fair value *fingers crossed* and quick/clean transaction in one day...

Radiator Support is not a simple bolt-on, bolt-off part. Drilling, Welding will ruin the paint.
