how did you get that name.....

Welcome to the forums.

As for the OEM fog lights, you'll need the JDM front bumper and fogs to have a true OEM fog light kit. The lights can be found on Ebay, but don't fit the USDM bumper properly, hence needing the JDM bumper. The bumper (and lights) can be purchased from RPMgarage.com, though the site is having issues for me at the moment.

Here are the conversion badge items, available from forums' sponsor HeelToe Auto.

Honda Inspire grille, 99-01

Honda of America badges

Rear Honda "H" badge, Chrome:

Rear Honda "H" badge, Gunmetal

Rear "INSPIRE" trunk lettering

Honda "H" Engine cover badge

the 00 should have fake foglight grill cutouts.
Cut the slots open on driver side when you remove the intake resonator box- gets way more fresh air to the engine

Some aftermarket lights can easily be mounted in the lower grill for cheap

there is a foglight option for the actual JDM UA5 along with a different style bumper as well. In my opinion the JDM bumper with the fogs look a lot more luxurious.

welcome bud,

get ready for a wild time, and I swear you'll be modding till you fall apart. I've only been a member a few days and I already bought enough parts to keep me occupied the rest of the summer!

You'll get to the point where you hate getting in your car and seeing that damn "A" on your steering wheel though, trust me

Just let it be known, if you don't come correct with JDM conversion you will get flamed.
