Looking at purchasing a JDM hood, and I know that it won't fit with the USDM latch, and that you have to replace with the JDM latch...but do you NEED to replace the bumper/headlights/fenders for the hood to fit? Please don't speculate, looking for someone who actually knows 100%. Thanks in advance!

 

Yes you need to do the entire conversion as the US models are 3 inches longer hence your JDM hood will be shorter than the US spec.

 

Thank you sir. Bummer. I love the US front bumper with fogs.

 

The JDM 1.5 RS front end as a fog light option. You just need to source the parts.
