Okay here's the deal. I bought my GSR knowing that it needed a new hood and front bumper. How hard is it (time and money) to convert to a '98+ front end? And what about the rear bumper? Thanks

 

It shouldn't be too hard finding the parts. You need bumper, fenders, hood, and other things I can't think of.

 

98+ front bumper cover
98+ headlights
98+ bumper lenses
foam piece?

98 rear bumper cover

fender/hood is the same as 94-97

 

whew, I was gonna say new hood and fenders? What foam piece are ya talkin' about? Thanks man

 

only different body pieces are the front bumper cover, headlamp assembly. The fenders are the same and so is the hood.... so it wouldn't really matter wat year (1994-2001) hood you got as long as its in good condition i guess. If you plan on doing the rear as well... like they said, its the rear bumper cover and the taillamps are all red as well so you might want those. Check partstrader.com i remember there being a lot of good buys on that site.

 

People usually forget this one. just to let you know you'll need the brackets to hold the corner lenses from a 98+ bumper cuz the 94+ don't fit it. OR you could retrofit it yourself but I have no clue on how you would do that. my .02

 

the rear bumper is just bolt on. take off the screws in the wheel well and the ones in the trunk and should come right off.

 

heres a pic of what my friends 94 ls with 98 front conversion looks like.

its goin to be easy for you to find the parts... as long as your willing to spend the money..

if you want the parts quick.. your going to have to pay about $300 for the headlights.. $200 for the taillights, $150 for each bumper.

 

man for the money your paying.. go JDM

 

 

And after getting the parts you're gonna need to paint them too.

 

i payed 150 for the whole bumper set up, plus chin spoiler... just look around, and watch out for the scam artist...

 

What are the total job price estimates for the 98+ conversion and the JDM conversion? Isn't the JDM a lot more?

Ben

 

I would say around 250-300 with bumper and paint for 98+

JDM is like 2200-3200(depending on HID on non-HID)plus paint and install...

the 98+ is alot easier to put on, just unbolt old bumper and slap it on, JDM has to have the fenders, radiator support changed in order to be put on...

 

can you get me a rear bumber?

i need ASAP

 

here's my buddy's 96 GSR with the 99 front

 

And why is the JDM front so godlike that it is worth that much money? A picture please?

Ben

 

Because its all JDM Genuine Honda Parts for one. It changes whole front end out including hood fenders etc.

PS: I have hood for sell and fendors to off my 1998 Integra GSR
