Default JDM CRX EF8 Front End Conversion on USDM CRX Si

I'm looking into doing a front end conversion on my CRX Si, to the JDM EF8 Front End, has anyone done this before that can fill me in on how to do it? Does everything bolt right up, or are there any modifications required? Also, eventually I'll be looking for a Mugen front bumper that'll fit the JDM front end, does anyone know where I'd be able to get one? thank ya.

Yes everything is just bolt on. Here is what you need. Front bumper, fenders, hood, headlights, corner lenses depending on the year you get, bumper lenses. If you are going to place in the fender markers then you will have to custom hook those up to the same wires as your bumper lights but that is simple. Good luck finding the Mugen bumper. They are so rare and I have personally never seen one for sale anywhere online or in real life. You can do the conversion if you are decent at working on cars in a weekend.

alright cool, sounds easy enough for me. I did a mini me swap in a 3 day weekend (1 day was tuning), so I guess I should be able to do it. also, i've already got sidemarkers hooked up, so those should be ready to go. i saw one package that came w/ a radiator support, is there anything I need to do w/ that?

Do you have to weld on the radiator support? I know you have to do this with JDM ITR front end conversion.

any suggestions on where to buy one? i've seen one for 925, free shipping, but i don't think it comes w/ a radiator support. also, I've seen one for 700 + 275 shipping, and it does come w/ the radiator support. are those good prices?
