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!

Please don't call it an Acura.

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...
