POLL: JDM front end....hurt or help value of car?

Post by ITR19 »

What's the general consensus on the JDM front end conversion? Would I be hurting my car's value by doing it? Or possibly helping it? Being how mine is one of the first, could it be worth more if it's just left alone? I love the JDM front, but I certainly don't want to ruin the car's collector status by modifying it that extensively.

Any and all opinions are welcome!

30 years down the road, there's gonna be a line of Type R's on the 18th hole at the Pebble Beach Concours... they just might deduct some points for a JDM front end. Personally I think the JDM front end looks better, but I'm gonna keep my car the way it is. If I was really serious about it, I'd get a real JDM Type R.

For original value stock USDM is best,
putting on a JDM front end is only valuable in the eyes of the beholder.

IMHO using the money for performance up grades would be much smarter. Such as saftey...
