i have yet to see a jdm front end conversion out here, in maryland, D.C., on any AFB i have lived on, i dont think they are that common because of the amount of money it costs...

I agree fool. You really only see it at the shows. A couple reasons why I don't see jdm fronts in the DC area . 1) So many guys here drive the Caprice Classics & any other cars they can try to look like feds,WHY!!!!
The other is so many Mustangs,Camaro's etc. are driven around here.
The JDM front does make your ride stand out & is expensive. I'd love to do the ITR & SiR conver. but expensive!!

Agreed.
I've always thought the 94-97 USDM front end was better looking.

I feel the same way about the 94-97 but to most it doesn't seem to get much love as the JDM or 98-01. Same goes for the tail lights most people want the 98-01 since I have a 97 I want to keep it 97.

We both know how trends are. :run:
By 1995, everyone out here was jumping on the JDM bandwagon. Overnight, the USDM fans instantly became outcasts.

Before I bought my DC4, it spent the first years of its life parked on the streets of Santa Monica. People tended to park by ear out there, so there's a collection of dimples and small scratches. If I ever get around to buying and painting a new front bumper cover, I'll probably splurge on a JDM SIR-G front lip.

IMO, it's the one option out here that's still somewhat rare. h:
