is there any difference between the jdm zc front end and an 88-89 usdm front end?

saw it on there and didnt really notice anything different

 

headlights, the mesh center piece in the bumper is a bit different, fenders have the side markers...OH AND ITS JDM! lol

 

definitely jdm. haha. i kinda like it. are the headlights different in shape only? cus they dont look like the jdm sir ones. look like regular usdm.

for the price of $329.99 i only get the bumper and support, headlights, corner lights, signal lights, and radiator support. is that a reasonable price for what i'd be getting? cus it doesnt come with the hood and fenders. (i'm gonna email them about that)

will my usdm hood fit?

 

The parts are all the same shape with the exception of the bump in the hood. The headlights will look the same, but they run a single bulb, dual element H4H. The corners are clear of coarse, and as mentioned, the fenders have side markers in them.

 

i think the headlights have no nipples and are plastic

id get the zc nose cut for everything including the hood. Also think the headlight assembly including corners are 88(screw in type)

 

thanks for the info guys. it sounds good to me. now im wondering since id have to use a h4h bulb, would i be able to fit 9006 bulbs? i was searching through threads and i saw someone mention it. can anyone agree on this?

 

Don't waste your money. Buy a 88-89 USDM front and a ZC hood and call it a day IMO

 

hmm maybe ur right. lol. i already do have a spare 88-89 bumper and support. thats all i need to slap it right on right? or do i need 88-89 fenders?

 

fenders are the same regardless of year. The ZC headlights are plastic with a single H4(?) bulb so no your 9006's will not work. Also the corner lights are clear just like the Si-R front end. I would just get the hood and call it a day but if you wanna go all out...

 

Agreed, i did the same thing before purchasing an EF8 conversion. Here's an old pic of what it used to look like.



Also, as i began to derice my car back to oem as times were changing, i had invested in the EDM Si headlights. Their versions are fricken awesome, although i don't have any pics at the moment. I had purchased the fully height adjustable model that came LHD, plus had really nice clear glass len's, plus used an actual H4 bulb, not the gay H4H that the jdm model uses.

 

hmm maybe ill just stick to usdm and put some sidemarkers on and call it a day. haha thanks for all the feedback

 

i wouldnt try to fit the 9006 bulbs. might as well stay with h4 type bulbs. i think all jdm headlights, like my ef2 1 piece headlights are h4.... its easy to find the bulbs and easy to rewire the stock harness to adapt to the h4 harness. just 3 wires.

like the other guy said, you can always get the 88-89 front and buy the hood, but if your the true ef enthusiast id get every single piece of plastic and screws to the front end.

 

omg those headlights are hideous. EW...i'd rather run busted up oem headlights with condenstation than those fake headlights. will never use those ebay headlights as backup, EVER.
