Default 98spec or jdm front - a few ?s

Im looking to buy a 4dr 98+ but found a 95 for a good price within a good distance. my first question is, is the jdm front convresion just 'plug and play' im guessing not bc on passwordjdm it says radiator support ect. this means i have to cut the old one and weld the new one correct? second is about the 98+ conversion. it is a direct swap of the hood fenders and front bumper right, nothing else no cutting welding ect. and the final is more of a "if you could" question. which would u do if you had the choice were the price doesnt matter too much?

Thanks in advance

jdm front conversion is both plug and play or welding required. i prefer welding it in place. some people just bolt it up using screw and nuts to hold it in place. in order for a jdm conversion you need the radiator support, bumper support, jdm fender bracket, jdm fenders, jdm hood, jdm headlight, jdm front bumper, and 90-93 integra cable hood release since the dc2 is too short to reach the latch. i am currently seeking a radiator support for my jdm conversion, it's a pain in the ***, but if you have the money and time go for it. please also use the search button..this topic has been covered many time.

Sorry about that. I tried searching but nothing came up as far as that it can be done either way. Didn't know about the DA hood release as well. Its gonna be my daily so the jdm would prob be harder to do s far as time. Thanks again.

the 98 front is only bumper, corner lights and headlights. Direct bolt on.

the JDM convo will need welding so it will be harder to do but oh so worth it.

A lot more people do that then you think. Come on, it's a honda. Just about everything has been done to them over a thousand times.

I say do the jdm front I just did it to my car a couple of weeks ago all u have to change it the top T u don't have to do the whole radiator support of course the 98 spec is easy to do cause it's bolt on but at the end of the day the jdm front looks better
