dumb,

there isnt much to convert anyways.

you need jdm tbar or usdm tbar with spacers
SIR HOOD
SIR bumper with bumper support
SIR finders or usdm fenders with sidemarker cutouts
SIR headlights
SIR bumper filler piece.
JDM corner lights or usdm corner lights

not hard, you need a philips screw driver, 10mm socket, 12mm socket, extension, ratchet. there. takes 20mins to convert if you have all the parts.

you spend around 700 bucks for a conversion, cheaper nowadays.

there are many places that sell used jdm front ends for $700-$800! I got mine in that range, along with many other extra's such as rad, a/c condensor, horns, wiring, and jdm VIN tags, under hood stickers and liner, and "front lip spoiler"

btw, you don't need fenders for the swap, that's a myth!

Here's what i got with the EF8 swap for my crx

Picked up my jdm ef8 frontend for $400. Loidbanks, on this site, can vouch for that. Bought it on craigslist. Seller wanted 900, but cash talks.

Actually it only cost me 200 because I sold the ef8 fenders for 200. And I'm almost positive that I did a screen capture of the CL add

dont i need to tac the tbar on the the cars body???

also curious on the wiring for the headlights. i know the rest is bolt on. and do i just swap the hood latch and thats it to the jdm front? the spacers are only for the usdm front tbar right?

i guess i shoulda asked these bc they were really my only concern. im not retarded


ps, i love that crx front end. ***** gonna look nice. my buddy has the same swap on his

and i think i got you all beat when i traded a set of hx wheels/tires(that i got for a bargain) for the front end swap
:D
