Default Anyone get into a front end collision with their JDM front end?

don't crash

it's not as strong as USDM. unless you want to drive it into a brick wall there's ano way of telling just what it will do.

Be careful and don't tailgate. Did you keep your GSR wing?

My 90 Integra was sold with a JDM front bumper support (buyer was informed of this fact).

30 mph crash into a crosswalk sign totalled the car.

Be careful.

Reid - who still misses that car sometimes...

Get a bigger front bumper support if you're worried.

I dont think it is that fragile unless you run into a brick wall. I mean what about the poor folks in Japan? Dont they ever get into frontal collisions

I have a 96R nose on my car now and deceided to keep the wing on the car last minute. I'm glad I did. I lost all the emblems and moldings though. to TypeRmsm and Ciro's for the paint and install.
