jdm ftw, you barely see any in tampa

 

Yeah well first off I promise there is more than 1 in tampa.Because I have one,dampachi,and so on.But as far as where to buy one from they are all about the same price,hmotors,passwordjdm,you might be able to save alittle bit but just make sure you buy one from a reputable company.As far as doing it yourself its not that big of a deal just make sure your capable of ripping the front of your car off.Because there is really no going back on it.I did mine in about 5 hours.Another thing I recommend buying the password jdm t-bar instead of using the old rad support.Its alot easier and cleaner.And last but not least do not use drill bits use a tap weld bit.So there is some things to think about as you think over your desicion.So if you have anymore questions lmk.

 

curious tap bits instead of drill bits for what? they should come with the radiator support shouldn't they?

 

no, what randy is sayin:

the stock upper core support is held to the fenders/lower core support by tap welds. honda uses these all over the place instead of running/stitch welds. so when you remove the upper core support, you will have to drill these tap welds out to get it off.

he is saying to buy and use a bit especially for tap welds rather than a regular drill bit.

 

ok got you. tap weld are the same as spot welds as some people would call them yeah cars are held together by these rather than long seem welds.

 

1650$.. sounds about right for what i thought the JDM kit would cost. anyone have any idea how much a 98-01 front end would run me?

and yea, i've seen 1 JDM teg at the school i go to (International Academy Of Design) i cream everytime i walk past it lol. if thats you let me know cuhz id like to talk to u about the front end conversion.

 

98-01 front ends are on here occasionally....

is it just the bumper, headlights, and hood? or are the fenders different too?

id say a fair price for that would be $250-300 ish, depending on condition.

 

We can get you a complete JDM front clip.

Most don't included the front lip or wiring harness etc..

 

^1900. how much for the installation and i guess a championship white coat.

 

btw, is this a good or bad investment? pretty sure the value of the car is going to go up for all those JDM heads around here but am i really going to see that much back compared to what im putting in?
