Im working on a JDM front conversion, before i just jump into it i was wondering if anyone has any hints or tips.

I was planning on using a snap-on spot weld drill bit.

of couse i will remove the existing one on my car first so not to mess up the JDM support.

are there any fitment issues?

 

no many here on TI cuz it's ugly

 

i took me a while to like it... ive go two 3g's so i figured "why not" but i did find this article on Honda-tech for those who are planning a conversion

theres quite a few guys on here that have done it
my car is in the paintshop right now, but heres some older pictures

 

^that's a nice teg, but all you need to do is get your bumper grills painted black.

 

you mean like this ?

 

^
yes, much better.

 

^^eeww, your headlights are wired wrong :P

i've done the conversion on my own a little while ago, it was a breeze -- but very time consuming.

i didn't replace the whole rad support though, just the "T" section of it. there's a lot of debate as to which method is better. i dont have any major fitment issues, something i was really worried about when i was doing it. whatever panels that aren't lined up on my car currently can easily be fixed by re-adjusting, (headlights, fenders, bumper, grill).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Coin car eash on o'connor. go rob his ITR. j/k

 

ITR? psssssshhh

HypeR is more like it

Car looks WAY better with the vents in black, nice ride

 

lol. Was it the sunroof or fact that his name is cwdc4, that gave it away?


nice ride though.

 

Sunroof & username... sure

But I know because he bought it off of someone on the LAC boards a while back... I think his engine bay is still black? The guy was asking for like 6 or 7g's right after it was painted.

 

I guess the truth is unless it hass been imported it isnt a JDM ITR.... I like the front clip.. so im mounting it to my GSR and Yes It has a sun roof!! but it is only a GSR, all i can ever be... I like the sunroof too alot.. and other than Black ITR seats that all that my Teg has as JDM. 50% of my car and 80% of the motor is not from Japan at all.. its happens everywhere on all forums that if you have a JDM clip on a GS/R u get cut up.... some of us arn't trying to build a clone....Just a piece of our selves ....

 

almost correct

engine bay is the dark grey/silver color, but paintjob was done very well


EDIT: this is NOT an itr, nor will it imitate it (debating on removing the wing), thus the reason i didnt go with the black headlights, its got the chrome's still, and if you noticed the sunroof, and also that it is 4 bolt pattern on the wheels
