Default Conversion quandry!

Well, I am searching for the JDM ITR Conversion that I want. This is the OEM Top Fuel fiberglass body, HID, and carbon fiber hood. If not Top Fuel, then just fiberglass with no lip so I can add a carbon fiber one later on. Anyways, I can find them for about $1800-$2000, but then they charge $700 for HID and roughly $350 for the carbon hood. I just want to know if anyone can help me find the conversion of my dreams.
PS: The JDM ITR headlights have fog lights, unlike our "cat eyes" Integra's, correct? So I need to install a switch, huh?
Go JDM!

OEM is not fiberglass. it's metal. the cheapest i've seen the oem metal with hid is at www.passwordjdm.com

EDIT: i just saw you have a DA teg in your profile. do you plan to put the conversion on that?

as for the headlights, just get the non-hid headlights and buy aftermarket hid's for them. thats wat i did, and it looks fine.

True, I meant OEM as in not an aftermarket style(eg. C-West). Top Fuel is basically the OEM with a lip, though it's one piece. At any rate, this is not for the DA as it's not possible without custom fabrication. It is for my future Integra(please let me find a white Type R with low miles in New England! Any color will do though.) I have seen the Password JDM site as I searched for the best price online. But those are used($1700 for non-HID and $2300 for HID). But if I'm getting them painted anways. I'm sure the shop would clean them up if there were any problems. Also, I'm not sure what lip comes with it. Is it the OEM lip or the Azect/Aztec/Ace or whatever it is called lip? Finally, will any HIDs for the Integra fit the JDM non-HID headlamps? I need every bit of the car to be how I like it. Thank you for your advice and opinions!

Go there and you can piece together a kit yourself with all OEM parts.

Where in CT are you?

I am from the southeast corner, wedged between RI and the ocean! It's pretty cool. Thanks for the help. Finally(I think), do the JDM lamps come with fog lights, because I know the USDM tegs don't. How would I make up for this conversion quandry?

Since I have not done the JDM conversion myself this is how I think the JDM headlights are set up. This is going left to right looking at the car for the passenger's (USDM) headlight.

Turn signal, projector lowbeam, reflector high beam, reflector yellow fog/driving light.

So are the JDM bulbs the same type as USDM? I would like to know if they are 9004 or whatever so I know what to get for HID conversion!
