What's your take on a JDM Front End conversion on your ITR?

well think about it this way...you're spending all this money, for a front end of an integra that came from japan, that was either a wrecked car, salvaged off of an integra, or just sold, because they knew they could get more money for it here. why pay all that money to look stock, y'know?

i hate haters...it's friggin' annoying. whether it's something averagely expensive like getting your emblems jacked, something dumb like swiping your windshield wiper blades, caps on your tires, or something really expensive like stealing the spoiler (breaking the spoiler), or keying your car. thats y i hardly take my car anywhere.

To JDM or not to JDM
I personally like the JDM front end. My itr has it. I didn't personally put in on there, the original owner did. While I agree that the money could be better spent somewhere else, it comes down to personal preference. If you like it do it, one's not better than the other.

It's too bad that the type-r here in the US didn't come stock with the front end. I think it looks so much better. When I had my GSR I was going to do the front end conversion but it got stolen so I couldn't. When I bought the type-r then it was the first thing on my list to change.
I LOVE IT...

Loves it
Personally I love the JDM front end, I have one myself for a couple of years now and nomatter what...peeps still look, though its played out here in southern cali. I used to have the Cali type R but had too many problems with it, due to the headlights that is holding on to the bumper and the bumper is fiberglass. The JDM front is great no worries because everything is oem spec.

I think the JDM front end is dope, the only issue I have with it is that it won't fit perfectly. I spent damn near $30K on my ITR from the dealer. There is no way in hell i'm going to go cut up the front end and slap on the JDM front end clip. Plus most integra's with the JDM conversion aren't even real Type R's. For all that money it costs i'd rather put that into the suspension & engine in my ITR, because my car was built for one thing, RACING, not winning car shows. If i had an integra other than a Type R then i'd do it.

JDM front end
I think it is stunningly attractive, however it would block about a 1/3 of my intercooler, and I just can't have that.
