Default Any Body Shops In So Cal For HELP ON ITR Front End Conversion

Hey Guys I just got a JDM ITR Front end for my DC2 GSR, and i was told that i needed to make hole some where in the front end so it can fit good on my Integra for like $60 bucks...If you guys know any in So Cal let me know with their number or address. Oh before i forget, i need to get a fender bracket. If you guys know any place or websites, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Some "Hole" to make it fit better?

Are you having fitment issues? Maybe they just want you to spend 60 bucks to put a hole in your wallet? But seriously, why did they mention it in the first place?

The front end conversion is alittle more complicated than whomever at Password told you.

You will need to drill out all the welds on your stock radiator support then weld in the JDM Integra radiator support. Some people do the T bar coversion which still includes alot of cutting and, ideally, welding in the jdm t support.

Then you'll have to splice in the harness for the JDM headlights.

For the record, there's no "hole" to be made. I dont know what you're refering to. Best thing to do is do a search on JDM Integra front end conversions and see what is really involved. You will probably have to take your car to a body shop to have them do the work - it wont be cheap.

That just might be the worst thing I've ever heard. OP please don't hack up your car and turn it into a potential nightmare for the next unsuspecting owner. Get it done right, weld it please. If not, just sell it to someone who is prepared to install it properly.
