Default JDM Front End

A couple quick Q's.

Is it worth it? How much did it cost you? Would you rather have done something else then buy it?

Thanx in advance.

You're in Nevada, right?

Another candidate for a locked/deleted post?
Either that, or a lock with a post to "do a search"! LOL!

Like I wrote in a previous post ...

Go find a used ITR with a JDM front end conversion. Seems like you're going to do it anyway so might as well start with it from the get go.

For that amount of cash, you can put together a serious turbo kit, or build the block from hell.

As I said, I could have LOts and LOTS of fun at a Northern Nevada ranch for $3500! Seriously!

Maybe two at a time X 10 or more ...

3500 is sorta the low end I think of how much is costs... I mean the cheapest I think I coudl find a used non HID conversion is liek 1200 but then to paint and blend from all the panels is gonna cost at least 2k from a good shop... so 3500 seems like the low end of gettin a conversion done.

oh you coudl relaly shell out the cash and get a cwest front hahaha.. depends what you want... speed or looks? speed probably requires more overhead on your part. So if don't mind the overhead then why not spend the money on the motor...if your really lazy an don;t want to deal with stuff blow the money on the JDM front and be done with it.

The JDM Front end is nice, but remember to only get the OEM Metal one, not the cheap fiberglass knock-off's... and don't forget to get the OEM HID headlights also...

I have one!

My Advice: Do your own honest research; Separate feelings from facts; JDM front ends can be a Blessing or a Curse; Wish you good luck on whatever choice you make...it's going to be your money and car anyway.

That's my honest unbiased opinion..
