I am going to be getting a EF9 front end conversion soon for $600 shipped, is that a good price or can i get i cheaper???? will it just bolt up to my 89 std hatch or do i have to do custom stuff??? ( i am getting the hood, fenders, frt bumper, etc, the works!!) Thanks for the help, this is the first jdm body i am getting, then the spoiler etc. But i already have the heart!!! Later

 

yeh itll all just bolt up as long as u get the whole clip from the front u need the bumper brakets the ef9 ones are different

 

I think you need the jdm crossmember as well correct?

 

no thats in correct the ef9 cross member does not bolt to any other frame but the ef8 and ef9 the radiator support is needed but i think he knows this

 

aaaahhh rad support; that's what it was. thanks, it was early when i initially replied. preciate the correction.

 

do the lights just go into the stock supports???? or does the conversion come with it????

 

if you get a whole front clip it will be everything.

 

yea, cool, but i alreday have the motor so i am just going to get the front end conversion but im sure it comes with everything i need

 

if you're getting the hood, fenders, bumper, headlights then you should get everything you need, plus the rad support as stated before.

 

yea, it says it comes with evrything i need, i am getting it from passwrodjdm most likely when i get the cash.

 

you might have to play with the hood latch on making it align right. I did and I know a few other people did, you might have to space out the radiator support with longer bolts and washers. I have heard people say it closed with no problem also.

 

password jdm has the crx ones for 549 so, I would say thats a pretty good price!

 

the headlights are totally different than the US ones ull see when u get em and if ur using the rad support from the EF9 u shouldnt have any problems with the hood not latching

 

so the lights won't just bolt up??? i thought they were smaller than the usdm ones, but shouldn't they fit????

 

the supports are part of the lught hard to explain but the braket is part of the light

 

you will need the washers or spacers only if you use the USDM rad support, the JDM rad support bolts right up and does not need and washers or longer bolts

 

This is what i noticed...

If the JDM support comes off a B16A clip (SiR, EF8/9), then you need to space it out, or bend it out.

If the JDM support comes off a SOHC clip (EF1/2), then it's bolt on.

There are different JDM radiator supports.

 

had mine for 2 years

 

why would u need to space the EF9 one out? that makes no sense the EF1/2 doesnt have the same front end as the 8or 9 it has the same front end as a usdm ED i think u r mistaken...i have a EF9 clip that my whole front end came off of and everything bolted on with no problems

 

All 89-90 (remember, they are one year ahead of us) EFs have the same front end. 89-90 EF1/2s have the same front end as EF9s. 87-88 EFs have the older body style. Regardless of motor and model, all 89-90 EFs have the same front end! The body style change the with years, not models. That's the way it has always been with Honda. *Halfway thru a generation, Honda likes to change the lights and bumpers.
