rebuilding options
hey wasssup every1....what you guys think...should i go original usdm or do a nip tuck with the jdm conversion front???
yea dave_b...i'll stick with the usdm front and my friends say the same thing too....that it look more aggressive when im speeding up from behind than the accord looking front-end.Dave_B wrote:IF it's a rebuilt car/theft recovery it's totally up to you. The front end is most likely gone so it's easy to go either way.
However if it's a good condition, clean titled car I'd stick with the USDM front end on it.

With that said though....

There is sufficient evidence to indicate that the rate of increase in output per unit increase of input decreases as the input increases

How does the word "gangsta" and the Lowest model of the line Acura even belong in the same sentence?

Although on a theft recovery or a rebuild of some kind, I would consider doing a JDM front.

Well, I was trying to keep it short, but since everyone has jokes I will just speak plainly. I do prefer the JDM front end. I think it looks more distinguished and more like it belongs in the Honda/Acura family of cars. The front end sold here just reminds me that Toyota came out with it first. It may have been part of the reason that "our" front end was only the the Japanese model for one year before such a drastic change was made from the front doors to the front frame tip. I think the USDM front end looks cartoonish.

hard to say who had it first. You may know, but all I know is both came out for the 94 model year.soulassassin13 wrote:Well, I was trying to keep it short, but since everyone has jokes I will just speak plainly.
