Default Jdm Front End Paint

For those of you who have purchased a used jdm integra front end, what is the standard condition of the paint. When recieved do you usually have to get a repaint or has the paint been in such condition that it was ok to throw on a match the existing body paint. Just wondering because Hmotorsonline has the CW front ends in stock but I am looking for a milano red front end and they said it won't me in until the 2nd week of January. Do I wait for the MR or buy the CW and get a repaint? Thanks for any comments.

your probally going to have to repaint it anyways, its coming all the way from Japan so there are going to be a few imperfections on the paint. When my buddy got his from Hmtors he had it repainted. And it looks great, heres a pic with just the front end painted, hes getting the whole car sprayed in the spring

sounds like a good idea, as a side note, do you have the hid or halogen headlights SpoonFED? If you have the hid have you had any problems with aiming? What do you think about Hmotors as a whole?
