Default FouR door with JDM type-r Conversion

Whats going on everyone? My friends were telling me that they haven;t seen too many 4 doors with a jdm conversion. They also told me that it looks sick as fu6k. I believe them because i saw the recent Import Tuner and it does look real nice. What do you guys think? Would you like to see more 4 door's with the JDM conversion? If i asked myself, I think i might have to look more into converting my car. Maybe in about another year or so.

Yeah your right, I do see way more coupes. But I love 4 doors and i plan on converting it to the JDM type-r Front whenever I get some money. Its does cost alot but my friend said he can pick up a complete swap for $1700.00 made of fiberglass w/o the head lamps i think.

I don't plan on going with the fiblerglass kit. Bigger percentage of cracking the kit. i plan on paying extra to get the metal kit. How does that sound? Sounds good to me. Oh yeah have you guys seen any 4 doors with the type-r 5 lug conversion? Let me know because i am interested. Thanks in advance

There is a very reasonable explanation for that. They made more 3 doors than 4 doors. If they would have made more sedans then they would have sold more.

Another good reason is that the reason they got a sedan was probably because they had people they needed to haul around or something. People that put car seats in the back seat aren't normally the type of person that spends a couple grand changing the look of their front bumpers. They are spending their money on house payments or diapers or something like that.

There are also guys like me out there that bought the sedan so it wouldn't be so tempting to spend a ton of money on mods. I think the sedans look better stock than the coupes do. The coupes just scream to be modified. The sedan is a little more reserved looking. No matter how hard you try to hide it, you are still driving a sedan. I've seen some tight sedans before but its just more common for people to leave them stock.

i dont' think honda's made that many sedans because they don't sell!! At the time a 4DR integra ranged from $17-22k, for that money most consumers *who want a sedan anyways* would've chosen the camry, the accord, or even the passat. Very few people would pay $18k for a four banging n/a car.... you could get a nice V6. which was why Honda dropped the 4 DR model

4-doors are awesome! i will never buy a damn 2-door in my life ever again. i have had one 2-door out of 5 cars and that damn 2-door sucked my ass (as in way too small, get out to let friends in which is a pain in the ass and so on.) i think a 4-door 95 acura integra gsr stock looks better than a 2-door 95 acura integra gsr with millions of mods, body kit and new paint job. not too much for the jdm front end on any integra.
