Default JDM SIR front bumper question

Can you have a JDM SIR front bumper without changing the USDM lights and hood? How well will it fit if you don't? I Just bought a new ZC hood and don't want to change again. I did a search but found nothing. Thanks for you input.

the bumper has different cut outs for the headlights.
the usdm headlights are smaller and made of glass.
the jdm headlights are much larger and are plastic.

Yes you can fit the jdm SiR bumper and keep the usdm headlights but there will be a gap that will show the top bumper bolts. Run a search under archive, somebody here did it a while back and it's not too bad looking.

Regarding Primo's response, he's partly correct but you can always ditch the jdm filler (pc between headlights and bumper) so you can use your stock headlights.

"why do it ghetto style?"

Exactly!!! Please don't "rice" up the JDM style by doing it ghetto
and making it look like crap.
If you want the JDM front end, then get the front end
all at once and do it right.
Trust me, if you try to rig up the JDM bumper cover alone with your
USDM front end it will look like crap!

Thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure my lights and hood didn't fit before buying something else. There is no way that I would rock a JDM front bumper ghetto style. Too fussy for that.

I thought the question was if it will fit without replacing the headlights and not if it will look good...and the answer is "Yes"...

if you're talking about a crx then the answer is straight up no

if you're talking about a hb then it will fit with the us lights & filler and leave a gap as was mentioned

thank you for setting the record straight.

do the whole conversion or let it be is how i feel about this.

if you are afraid of the price jsut remember that if your car has clean panels you will make some of your money back by selling those.
