Couple updated pics and dunno if that's something that you guys would like to see





This conversion is such a b*tch to do. There are a lot of components where you needs to be replaced and modified.

It's almost done so more pics will be posted soon.

Thanks

damm my JDM conversion not gonna be done until begining of next month!!

 

OMG! looks sooo goood.

 

That looks amazing. Dang JDM conversion seems like it would be a lot of work. Can't wait to see more of the car. T1R brakes look awesome.

 

is the jDM conversion on the GE more involved then on the GD?

 

Yes, components in the windshield wiper area have to be converted as well. Lots of parts "/

 

That is so gangster with the RE's

 

looks good, subscribed for updates

 

Yes it is a lot harder than the GD3.


Here are the list of parts that's involved with the conversion:

JDM headlights
JDM hood & seals
JDM hood latch /prop
JDM hood hinch
JDM latch
JDM radiator support
JDM rebar
JDM front bumper
JDM grill & inserts
JDM fenders
JDM fender support
JDM fender liner
JDM side fender cover piece
JDM wiper motor cover **will not cover up everything**


- hinches have to be modified **will not direct bolt on**
- SRS sensor has to be relocated
- Washer fluid bottle has to be replaced
- custom brackets for AC condensor

 

Like the hood and the rims.

 

dang it doesnt look all that different from the usdm ge8 front. only stubbier and bumper is noticeable difference. not even headlights i can tell.. but maybe thats because i drive a gd3.. nicely done tho sucks ge8 people have to go thru allllll of that

 

I was just thinking that. It looks the same to me but I also drive GD3

 

Just an estimate, the front end is about 7-8 inches shorter and the rear is about 2-3 inches shorter s the difference is very noticeable.

 

Huh.. that is a long list to get it converted to JDM.
wierd that u guys go through all that troubles just to get what we have it as a Standard car here but that totally change the look.. good job.

Now I wanna see convertion from JDM Fit to USDM FIT anyone??

 

guess either dave or i is next in line...CURSE YOU BEN!!! for beating me to the JDM conversion!!

 

looks good!
i've seen that same set of yellow RE30 on 3 differents fits now lol

 

sweeeeeeet!!

 

looks really good, I hope when you put the LE's back on they no longer have a polished lip. It was killing it.

 

Am I the only one that hates the JDM front and rear? So short and stubby. Love the wheels though...

 

nope i hate it too
