The JDM bumper support is smaller, and will not pass US crash test standards. Thats how I understand it.
DVP - Prices have come down BIGTIME recently with the influx of JDM Importers. You dont have to rely on JDMHondaparts or Options anymore to get your $3000 non-HID conversions
PasswordJDM sells HID conversions for $2300 + s/h. Non HID for $1700 + s/h.
HID headlights usually go for MAX $1000...$1800 would be out of reality.
