Grab your fit and do you. Dont jump on the bandwagon by doing what everybody else does.

I was looking at buying JDM parts and getting them shipped to my warehouse. I have a logistic company and i can bring things into the states pretty cheap some of us should talk. I export and import cars, goods, from all over the world. It is my second job that I am trying to turn into a way of life since I love cars especially from Japan tuner scene.

If you want the shorter "JDM" front ends, ur not limited to getting it from japan. These were produced and sent all over to other countries in asia and europe.

For example, I got my front end while i was on vacation visiting family in the Philippines; so for me it was killing two birds with one stone. Saw the distant fam, got me the JDM front end/ rear bumper. And for those of you out there who are gonna say, "But if its from the Philippines its not JDM..." You are wrong, the distributors over there get crates of parts from Japan just like they do here, its just dirt cheap in comparison.

That is correct, all JDM front end does look exactly the same as the one produced and sold in the Philippines. There isn't much difference to them. But the front end I have is coming from Japan, so if anyone is interested, PM me!

What kind of prices are you talking about? Let me know, because most online stores are selling the front ends for a pretty penny

some of the parts aren't necessary, depends on what you want to do.. If you are looking for a front end JDM conversion, all you need is the essentials. I do understand that everything you said is a "complete" front end, but I doubt anyone can get the whole front end complete like that.
