I don't think you can put just the front bumper. Don't you need the JDM hood too?

i think it will fit, there will just be a little gap from the bottom of the hood to the bumper. . . and as for it costing the same. . it wont be cuz the rims are $440 and the bumper and lip are $259 shipped for both

I think what he meant is that if you're going to buy wheels sometime down the road then in the end, you'll be spending the same amount of money.

If I were you, I'd get the wheels and suspension first. Then do the JDM front end. Actually, I'm saving my JDM front end as one of the last things or until someone backs into the car and messes up the paint. My engine and turbo come first.

i say get the JDM front bumper first...cause honestly its not like the bumpers are the easiest thing to find all by themselves and prices often fluxuate with availability...

rims are numerous and those can easily be obtained no matter how far down the road..just my 2.
