Default Stock US spec front end.

As time passes by I begin to realized that my stock ITR front end is not that bad after all. When I first got the car, I didn't like it as much. I say ohh someday I'll get the J-spec front end. All I know is that I'm not going to pay over $3000 for metal and plastic, f*ck that. Well I respect all of the people with J-spec front ends, specially with Spoon CF hood and lip.

90% of all cars in the market of have square style headlights. The round headlights set the integra apart from most other cars. It's unique, but in the end, I would love my car to look like an accord

The best JDM noses (to me) are the white cars with the Spoon hood and lip. But I still don't think they look like what an ITR should look like.
So, what should an ITR look like?
Maybe I'll have to stay with the CW/CF look instead of fully painting the car when it's all done.

USDM is soooo much tighter than a jdm front end. But a jdm front end is unique

Wow, I need to move up to NC. I've only seen one JDM conversion in my life. (In person that is.)

I've seen Honda-Tech flooded with it though.

Yep that is what I though too. But you get use to it. My mom say if I get the JDM front end it will look too much like a Accord.
But I still like the J-spec front end. **** I love both of them.

Way to **** there, Ed

JDM front does indeed look too much like an Accord. I traded one of those in to buy #009, why would I want to spend $$ and go back to it?
