I finally decided to get the JDM grille and badges to finish up my JDM Saber conversion.

As far as the exterior goes...here are my JDM mods:

Saber/A-Spec Spoiler
Saber 02-03 front Grille
Saber Honda badge
Saber letter emblems
Honda of America pillar badges
Modulo side skirt badges

I think all im missing is the orange fender signals.

Here are some pics of the conversion and better pics of my gold wheels:

 

Looks pretty good, man.

 

looks really nice. the CF around the grille really sets it off. nice job

 

Looks fantastic! May sound crazy, but you should come to AFest!

 

Looks hot, but the wheels need to be an inch bigger.

 

looks great, nice work on the grill.

 

Looks good man. Would you consider getting the OEM rear instead of the WW to "fully complete" the look?

Is it true that the only diff between the Inspires and Sabers were where they were sold (under which Honda dealership, eg. Clio, Primo..)? But other than that they were identically aside from the badging?

 

I havent been able to find a saber grille any where, can anyone help me out??

thanks

 

good shit bro, saber grille looks filthy

 

lookin good volly

 

is that lip spoiler on your rear lip b/t the exhaust? looks pretty good.

 

I love your car dude. Always been a fan.

 

nice. i wish that gap could be filled. seems like youre running a pretty good offset to be slammed. btw, your ass looks FAT. i like.

 

Nice ride man

 

thanks

thanks. I would kept the chrome if I had the chrome strip for the hood. but the CF works well too.

haha, thanks for the invite but work will not permit me.

yeah i know, the stepped lip where the spokes touch dont help them look bigger either.

Thanks man.

Probably not, I adore the WW lip too much.

I have no idea. the reason why I went with Saber is b/c a couple ppl here in toronto have already badged their TLs with INSPIRE , so I wanted to go for the more unique route.

luck and patience.

thanks man! we must setup a photoshoot before we put our winters on lol.

thanks 03tLsNBP!

yup a cf lip spoiler.

thank you.

I know I know, you photchopped me that pic in my previous thread and I fell in love. I know I can slam em on these wheels, too bad my Tein Basics dont permit me.

Thanks!

Thanks man.

heres another ass shot

 

BAAAAADDDDDDDD BOOOOOYYY

long time

whip is look illl as always , drop by sometime , i always run into chris on mavis

 

looks nice!

 

You should go alittle lower, diggin the gold wheels! and dam that spoiler is SICK!

 

NOPE, besides badging imagine some of our TL's came with no sunroof and came with cloth seats......not to mention the 2.5 engines

 

thanks bro.

thanks.

yeah, lowering my front more will be better. but i like how i scrape minimally

haha oh yeah the cloth seats. I think they came with painted mudguards tho.

 

sickest saber i've seen! so jealous...
is that the rear Saber badge for the 99-01? it fits the 02-03?
also, will you let me know where you got the carbon fiber vinyl? thanks!

 

Thanks for lookin out!

 

nice nd clean not feeling the wheels

 

looks good man i want your headlights

 

the rear saber H badge only fits 99-01. I had to shave the pins off to fit mine.

I got the CF vinyl from canadian tire. but im sure you can et better quality stuff on ebay.

 

did you wed sand the chrome first? and just wrap it around? how did you deal with the middle parts where they bend, and the ends?

 

Volly your car has the best ass in the 2G community, bar none. Looking sharp all around with some nice personal touches here and there. I hate the fact that you beat me to the cf grille surround. I'm going to do that to match my pillars and handles. I'm hoping to get that in before it gets cold.

Since you posted these new pictures to show off your grille and what not I'll also say that the front end looks meaner than ever.

 

The top chrome piece is the easiest to wrap. And yes the middle piece is the hardest to wrap. it took me close to 3 hours to get it perfect, you will have to be patient and have a hairdryer handy, it will help the film mould into the curves.

thanks Megalodon for admiring my booty!

 

I agree, also throw some deep dish in the back. It would look on point! Other than that, everything looks real clean.

 

props for the beautiful cf work on your grill trim
i will attempt it hopefully soon.

 

where did you get your headlights from? or are they DIY? im still new to exterior mods on this car dont know what they are yet lol is that a full WW kit?

 

nicely done...

 

Very nicely done!

 

Thanks. wider wheels are in store for next year. I want rims with some more lippage.

thanks man. just take your time with, its all worth it in the end.

I had my retros custom made by a friend. I think there is a DIY here somewhere...

I have OEM front and side skirts + WW rear lip.

thanks

thanks man!


Here's another pic with edit:

 

Wow, didn't even notice the lip between your mufflers at first - now I know what to do with my m3 lip lying around.

Nice ride man, def like how you made it your own!

 

nice man. how are the housings and projectors holding up?

 

thanks

The headlights hold up like the first they they were made. I may be selling them before next year.

 

looks tuff

 

fresh buddy!

 

thanks!
