Default ITR Front End conversion on 01' gsr

i have over 4k invested on my integra suspension whise and unfortunually i spun out this weekend and wreck my front bumper, left headlight, left and right fenders and hood. Also my bumper reenforcent and my radiator support and a little of my frame. Doing 50 on 2nd gear and rapidly letting go of the gas while doing a rotary wasent a smart choice.

So my question is... I am looking for a front end. I have a few websites but mostly goen for http://www.passwordjdm.com. This includes
- JDM DC ITR Black Housing HID Headlights
- JDM DC ITR Fenders w/ side markers (pair)
- JDM DC ITR Front Bumper
- JDM DC ITR Bumper Support
- JDM DC ITR Bumper Reinforcement Bar
- JDM DC ITR Radiator Support
- JDM DC ITR Grill
- JDM DC ITR Metal Hood
Now with you guy's experience, would i need to change anything else? Example: I heard u would need to change the hood cable bcuz it wont open unless its a type R bcuz its either longer or shorter.

plz leave comment. Id appriciate it
Thnkx

People use the 90-93 Integra hood cable. The front end is necessarily not an ITR front end.

PasswordJDM is one of the worst places to purchased from, and I speak from experience. Many here can chime in on experiences involving poor quality parts etc, and very little recieve any compensation. I am about to purchase another ITR front end for my 98' and I will be calling Hmotorsonline.com for my next purchase.

The same front end is for all JDM Integras. Only the ITR has the lip and black housing headlights.

Everything I've gotten from them has been subpar on quality. I refuse to buy from them.

All those parts except for the headlights, are not just for the ITR. They came on all Integras from 96-00 in Japan.

Want some advice? Don't buy a JDM front end at 16. Same your money for more important things. Unless you've got a nice trust fund or something, the money spent on the front end could be WAY better used in high school. Like on beer.

I guarantee you a USDM front end would be a lot cheaper parts wise. You don't have to take my advise, I'm just offering it.

pwjdm is ok, i have bought a lot of stuff from them and the quality wasnt bad. I even recieved a damged item and they shipped me a new one and told me to keep the broken one. It was just bent a little. I find them easy to deal with. The only complaint about them is their prices, way too high.

I dont think its up to any of us, if you want a jdm front, then buy a jdm front. Personally I have a jdm front and love the agressive look. Listen to other HT members when they say "dont buy from PASS." Prices are really high for no reason. Steve at Hmotors is great to deal with, you might also want to piece the front together. You can find parts for a jdm front all over HT. Search in the Type R section, i cant remember specifically, but a member was changing from jdm front to 98 usdm front, he was selling his entire mint CW front end...

The only thing I've ever bought from PASS was their Cam plug. Worked fine and shipped on time.

4K in suspension? Do tell.

Maybe you should spend that JDM front end money on a driving school instead.

Funny story. Ordered one when I had my shop do my timing belt/etc. They sent me a B16, too small, and the oil leak excessively over everything. I discovered the massive oil leak and promptly called them. Long story short, it took 6 months for them to back up the promises that were made.
