if your car is daily driven / not garage kept, its probably a waste of money

Alarms don't work for Sh*t.

if you get the jdm front it's sure gonna attract thieves

I say stick with your 94 front. There aren't a lot of 94-97 front these days and it can be verryyy cleaaann.

I have a 95 DB8 myself and will go 98+ when funds are available. I just like the look better than the 95 ( same as your 94 ).Plus the wallet won't be drained to do it. Just have to really shop around.. Protect your investment. Lojack really is the best way. Alarms are just annoying. and help very little.

I do love the JDM front end, but i think it does look like an accord, I'm very happy with my 01 front, different from almost any other car, throw round fogs on and they look sick. I saw a kid with halo's in his 98+ bug eyes and they looked dope. but you car, your choice just my $.02.

the jdm front was played out a long time ago. if you absolutely have to change the front, go with the 98 and use the rest of the money for performance upgrades.

JDM is overplayed... Stick with your current front or get the 98+.

Clean it up and make it look buff like R81_DC2's
much love for the 94-97's!
98-01 is great and jdms are cool too but converting in the long run isnt worth it IMO, and only my opinion
your decision in the end my man

98+ front = good looks, but nothing "stand out"
JDM front = illegal, but nicer looking

So, how important is legality and front impact safety? (Keep in mind that the JDM font did not pass US front impact standards, which is why we got a different, and safer, one.)
