JDM Front End Conversion 99% Completed
as per request, will do a write up on my quick JDM front end conversion



JDM HID Headlamps
JDM Fenders
JDM Bumper (Mugen Prof) series used
JDM rebar (remodified)
JDM Sized Carbon Fibre Hood

Removed items:
Lower Extended Engine cover
North American Fenders
North American Bumper
North American Front Rebar
North American Headlamp
North American Hood
North American Hood Latch holder

Modified items:
Relocated Hood Latch
Slight bendage on the rad support to allow JDM Headlamp to fit
Cut out for relocation of Hood Latch on rad support (by doing this, there is no need to replace to the JDM Rad Support)

Apart from the list above I think that is about it?
The way that I partook is probably a quick short cut way instead of replacing the rad support and in my mind I think it is the cheapest route to go

As for the rear:


used
JDM sized Mugen Fitted rear bumper
JDM sized Mugen Trunk Finisher

Removed
North American Rear Bumper
North Amiercan Re-Bar

Let me finish off my BBQ here and will see what else I forgot!

I seriously hope they will be the 2005 model year ones.

The current '06 ones appear *to me* like high class eurolight/altezzas.

~Sigh....Vancouver....

Do you have any comparison photos of the USDM and JDM rebar for our reference?

More pics in regards to the front end conversion
As seen in the pics below, the North American Hood Latch Support which extends the hood latch out by about 6 inches was removed and not used any longer.



A new hole was cut out for the relocation of the hood latch to match up with the JDM hood.




Saftey wise? well I can't really see the nuts and bolts bolted up to the factory rad support can come flying out nor the metal being too thin to hold the latch itself.
All in all, work is pretty much done on the relocation to get this front end conversion completed apart from the little details to make it a better finish!
