Default JDM ITR FRONT END POLL! SPOON VS OEM VS BOTH

My ITR needs a new front due to accident, and i cant make up my damn mind whether to do the following...

please place your vote for whatever you like most to help me with my decision making. Also, car will be driven in winter and it is lowered about an inch from stock. I live in New England

i know its my decision and it's what i like, that i should do, but i cant decide, so any comments are welcome

New England? You guys get lots of ice out there? If you do, when the DOT sands the roads your Carbon Fiber goodies are going to get "The Treatment". I'd forget that idea unless you change that **** out when the snow starts falling. Something to keep in the back of your head when it's time to spend the green.

You must have mangled your front end pretty good. Have pictures? I like the JDM front end look but I don't know, lately it doesn't sit right with me. I guess I'm just to ****. I mean, you have a JDM front end, and your still driving on the left side of the car. If it were me.....oh, I'm going to shut up now.

Post picks of the wreckage!

Could be that perhaps the others don't see this topic as being anything of importance. I cannot speak on their behalf, but maybe that is what it is. Don't know what to tell you. Maybe narrow down your poll to USDM front end or JDM front end. ****, sorry man. Don't know what to tell yah. Good luck.

Where is the choice for a True Spoon look? VIS, yuck!! If you're going to do it, do it right. Not trying to flame, just my personal feel. Here's mine:

considering VIS CF is very high quality and looks just like spoon, i dont see why paying less than half price is a bad thing

of course if insurance company gives me a lot of money, ill go straight up spoon

I have oem lip, and vis hood...there is a gap on the hood on the driverside, about half an inch. I only know 2 other people with the hood, and 1 of them has the same problem.

JDM all the way imo.... i love that stock jdm look. also, i personally think a CF hood will look bad on a CW itr.

I am <u>not</u> a fan of JDM conversions.

However, of all the conversions I have seen, I like Victor's the most. I think the Spoon nose is the best looking of all the possible JDM conversions (I mean, if there's no way to stop you from doing it at all).

Maybe you could even talk Victor out of some of those spare parts cluttering up the garage, at a reasonable price.

I can also attest to Victor's car looking hot as hell

And Victor, no matter how much fun it is, the EP bus will NEVER look as good as your R
