yes it does...4 door or 2 door..don't matter..the front end fits...just be sure to get the radiator support for the front end..

X2. The radiator support is the key to making this conversion work.

good looks peep. i read a few threads where they talked about the da or 97 accord hood wires. i know the radiator support is key. its just mainly the upper part correct?

i seen quite a few conversions online but shipping to boston is a killer

some people swap the whole thing, and some people are just doing the "T" bar, the top and center section

Theres a 4 door Integra over here and it has ITR front and looks really clean. I don't get why a lot of people don't do that.

Doing just the "T bar" alone isnt the cheap route of doing the swap. Its easier and more practical doing it this way. only difference is the "T". Undo the spot welds from the udsm rad support with a drill and just weld on the "T bar" in its place. I believe there are a total of only six factory spot welds that are holding the usdm rad support. two at each corner where the rad support meets the fender support and another two at the very bottom of the core support at the center. Id post some pics if i had some. this is the procedure i took to get mine done and is been holding up great! no sag what so ever. everything is lined up perfectly. Ur also going to need a DA hood latch with the cable. ( dont worry, the hood latch is a perfect fit for the t bar as well.

its not only the T-bar. you cant just stick the T-bar on it and be done. there are i think 5 brackets that are welded on the jdm rad support that are for the headlights unless you just want to stick 2 bolts in the top and thats it. and also when just using the T-bar you have to cut a small amount off the side of the USDM rad support on each corner by the headlights so the JDM lights will go all the way in. you dont have to cut much off if you put the two supports next to eachother you can see there is more to change over to your USDM support then just the T- bar but im very picky with things

I did mine the way i stated. But one thing i forgot to mention was cutting out the sides to allow the jdm headlight all the way thru just as you pointed out. My conversion came out flawless, its just a matter of getting it painted to finish things off. good eye tho.
