I originally thought that dx side moldings were identical to jdm ones. Could be wrong though.

Dude, that thing rocks. I love the look of multicolored cars, just so its not after you had it painted. I also dig old cars with primer grey, specially with rims. Looks awesome.

Besides, whats the difference between a ZC front and a Black Widow front bumper? Its completely useless except for looks. Just a personal thing, but I classify that as rice.... Not hatin, but I think its kinda funny how all of you guys love JDM crap, but hate aftermarket body kits.

You just controdickted yourself. He put on a JDM stock body, No body kit at all. the ZC front end is different then USDM too. There is nothing wrong with USDM, ZC, or the so called SiR front end. They all look nice in their own specail ways.

Yeah I know he just put on a JDM stock body, thats what I was saying. Whats the point other than looks?

Paying $300 or more for a new front bumper. Diehard racers....

Some ZC powered cars came with "Si-R" front ends. I found basically what amounts to Japanese Autotrader and I went and downloaded all the pictures an made sure to add what engine/car it was and there are 1600 Sis with "Si-R" fronts. So it sort of makes you wonder why some have one front and some have the other.

the 90-91 all had the "SiR" front end
The 88-89's you had to have an SiR to have the "SiR" front end.

Hot diggity! One of my favorite conversions, although it's very minor and most people don't know the difference.
