Default 98-01 front end or jdm itr front end??

So heres the deal I hit a guard rail lol. Its not that bad but it need a bumper, fender, headlight, paint. I love the 98-01 front end, but I already have the jdm itr just sitting around looking pretty. I feel like the jdm front is going to cost more to put on then the 98-01? Just bc the rad support needs welded on, and all the parts need painted. Idk?? Any suggestions? Here's what it looks like before this happend. Thanks guys

1995 Acura Integra GSR

have you inspected your current core support for damage? whit as much damage as you are explaining sounds like you might have to replace it anyway.. by the time you get a fender/bumper/headlight/poss core support and paint the new parts you might be in just as deep as painting/installing the jdm front end..

I love the jdm front end so I would say take that route..

Sell the jdm front and get your car repaired. 94-97 front looks better than all.

are you paying out of pocket?

If you had purchased a jdm ITR front before the accident it seems like you have your mind made up. Did you change your mind over the course of owning the front? Never got around to installing it?

Its championship white so you could get by without paying for paint until you had the money.


Personally with most colors I like USDM front either but I do have a soft spot for white JDM fronts integras

I had the front end before I even had a dc. it was a cheap buy so I just bought it. I am paying out of pocket as well. I work for a Honda, Acura dealership in the parts department so I can get the stuff pretty cheap. I feel like welding a rad support on painting it getting the fenders and the hood and bumper painted will cost more. I might have to get the whole car painted bc I dont even know if it will match.If I go with the 98-01 front all I have to get painted is the bumper one fender and a lip. swaps right on no problems. I mean I need headlights too but I can find them used. If i could sell this jdm front end I could just buy it all and be done lol.

That is a good looking car and to get it that good again, you'll have to repaint your JDM clip and blend the new paint onto the doors.

So, the paint is going to cost you either way (usdm or jdm).

The JDM parts are free. So, apply the money that you would have spent on a usdm front clip, on welding.

If you didn't have the jdm clip, I would (and I did) go with usdm.

I'm actually with the few people that posted the 94-97 bumper is boss.

The JDM looks too much like the Accord (I think that's the car), and the 98-01 looks funny in the center.
