jdm front end

[1stealthciv1c]

will i need JDM fenders when i do a full jdm front conversion or, can i use my existing USDM fenders for the front end conversion????? will it look weird??? thanx

You need the JDM fenders because of the way the corners are mounted..... This conversion is very expensive! I am getting quotes to paint mine and the whole conversion is going to end up costing me about $2500..... I am just warning you in case you think this is going to be cheap.

that sucks because you know that there are thousands if not millions of old JDM 4th gens just sitting in japanese junkyards, their ZCs and b16's rotting away because they're "just some old junk cars". you know japanese probably see 4th gen civics like we see Pintos

I used my stock fenders except you need to transfer the plastic mount from the jdm donor. My front end came with half of the fenders cut. The fit is not perfect though but it works. I can take a close pic if you need one.

If you've ever seen a Japanese wrecking yard, you'll know it's just that. Cars are not dissected neatly, they are ripped to pieces and then crushed after the drivetrain is ripped out. Space is at a premium and cars are not stored in general, but stacked until they are crushed. The front cuts we get (dash forward) and the front ends you guys get (why you don't get front cuts is beyond me) are the lucky survivors. More than likely your front ends are either SiR or XT25 or one of the other "facelifted" 90-91 Civics.

I doubt there are that many EF8/EF9s in Japan anymore
