Is it worth it to you?

It's only the front end, you'd still have to find the sides/rear.

It's 2000US... plus you'll more than likely need a repaint... so add money on top. Even if the color is technically the same as the color of your car, there's a very good chance the colors will not match. Also, DO NOT skimp on the paint job and definitely get 3M (or similar) film put on after to protect it. A painted front end is generally never as good as OEM, in terms of adhesion, etc.

Modulo is the Japanese Honda version of Aspec. It will just have different badges. The hood and fenders will be the same that you have now, maybe you can resell them and make some money back. If you want a complete kit, you will need to buy the rear bumper and the side skirts. Imo not worth it, just get a full aspec kit.

^Agreed. That's just the ASpec kit. The JDM headlights are the only unique parts in that sale, and you can find those + ASpec bumper cheaper.

Yeah, definitely not worth it unless you have a smashed front end and you need all the parts. I've seen full A-SPEC kits for sale for $1000. You just have to look around. Pass on this one and continue to look on Ebay, Craigslist, and the black market here on AZ.

I got my entire A-Spec kit and had it installed for less than the price of that kit. Just saying. That's way too much for what you're getting.

That company is based out of Ontario, so that's been taken care of for him. Not that it makes it a "better" deal lol. I browsed thru this website's front end stock. It really baffles me that people are paying upwards of 1,500$ for a front end conversion that gets them a Honda badge and RHD headlights, and maybe a couple other little items that certainly aren't worth what's being asked...

I was getting at $$$. Regardless of what country it's in, it'll cost a bunch just to ship. I had missed that charge before, but $350 for shipping a used front end when the front lip is only $450? No thanks.

Buy the Aspec. There is nothing special about the Modulo kit except for the 'Modulo' badge that you can buy for $30. I will be selling my Aspec kit soon with some other s stuff. Just look for the Aspec and save a lot of money
