cut them yourself and save money just be carefull.

go jdm, you might see them flooding the forums like this one but in actuality theyr still a pretty rare sight.
i cant remember the last time i drove by a local meet and seriously thought "im so sick of seeing these damn jdm fronts everywhere"

Forget JDM or 98+ convert to a DA front end instead...j/k

Nah stick w/ what u got, 94-97 are eye peeling as well, but thats just my opinion. Go w/ what ur heart tells u.

if you want to spend $200-300 you can do 98+

if you want to spend $1000+ you get JDM

Bump for a good point.

Figure out your cash flow and go from there. Figure out if you're going to install it yourself or have someone else put it on. Also you wont be able to find a JDM front in that grey color, you'll have to repaint it so add that in.

Either way, they both look damn good. I'd personally recomend JDM front, looks straight sexy to me...but to each their own

im not a baller w money coming out of my *** but $2000 for a color matched jdm front end doesnt really seem bad.

put it this way you can look at naked pics of beautifull women on your computer all day but when you see one in person theres a big difference isnt there

JDM is burned out, but do it because you like it.

You could always do 94-95 JDM front, which looks the same as 94-97 USDM but with the fogs in the bumper, and some have a lip (Si-VTEC lip), and sidemarkers on the fenders.

JDM fronts are played out like everyone has one cause everyone says "oh im do a jdm front on" and rarely follows through. DO wat you like the most dont do or not do something just casue everyone is or isnt doing it. IMO your car is a relection of your style dont let wat others do infuluence it.

Now I love the JDM fronts and i could proly count on my hands how many ive actually seen on the road.

To me, people who do the JDM front should have just bought an accord, because that is basically what it looks like. Yes, I know they're not alike, but I can't help but think 'Accord' when I see a JDM Integra.

Doubly so if it is a Sedan.

That said, if anything, do 98+.

Both have lost a lot of luster since a lot of people are doin it, but regardless, the jdm front is sick.
