Ok... well the body is probably the biggest difference though

Two pieces of advice:
1) Don't try the JDM conversion if you arn't willing to put an unreasonable amount of $ into your car.
2) Don't try the JDM conversion if you arn't willing to put an unreasonable amount of $ into your car.

^^^ well as I see it, your money would be better spent towards achieving the look on holding off on the taillights and anything other than badges and headlights and grill and get the front lip and fogs atleast also.

6 Months is a short time man... i personally am a poor university student. I wish i can work like crazy and afford mods like everyone else...

I don't think i could've done a complete euro R conversion with a yr either~

I have done mine in about a year I would say. From February of last year to February of this year since I finally got the steering wheel done. I mean I started with installing the badges and grill in February of last year then the body kit later that month. Then next came the headlights and regular accord sills. Then came other stuff then this fall came taillights and then finally around to this February with the steering wheel finally removing all Acura badges.
