so i got all these parts in today, probably going to all get installed in within the next 2-3 weeks.

(can you guess what these are?) haha









HELLA excited for it to be done.

 

nice.. saber front end...


bumper + fender too.

 

^ what jjashaa said LOL

 

damn howd you find out?

 

Thats tight!

 

That will look pimp! keep us updated

 

Parking Pole FTW! GREAT SHIT, mines is on the way!

 

see some good things come out good for getting in an accident. LOL

Make sure u go post it over on Team Rev

 

haha i guess

 

nice! you plan on fabricating your front lip to fit?

 

^ yea idk how long it will take. i cant find the oem one, or i might get the wings cut off the WW and mold that on (depends on how much that will cost)

if i vut the wings off the front lip, i gotta do the sides also, so they dont look awkward. ( it might just cost alot)

 

thats what i was trying to figure out...if you are going to mold...mold everything...sides and rear...or else itll look 1/2 assed

if you are not going to mold...good luck getting brackets made to make it look like its still 2 pieces...

personally i would rather keep it 2 pieces...i still have an extra OEM lip for that purpose and its not even my colour

o yea...when i stop messing around with the idea i saved up a little more and S/C'ed my car instead lol...so i dont really regret not doing it

 

Oh man, so many JDM bumpers poppin up.

 

Damn lucky u man

 

yea idk man, i wanna see how much the body shop will quote me to mold it on.

i might try to see if i could keep it two piece, but the lip still requires some cutting.

im getting a pretty good hook up for this work, so ill see how everything goes

 

the quote i got for molding it was around 600...that was including cutting up the lip to shorten it in the middle...then the sides...molding...and paint

the worse thing about molding it on is if you are as low as me...that shit will crack in no time...thats why i also would prefer it in 2 pieces

 

^^ yeah, I'm having the same problem too. Right now I'm in the process of fixing up my original front lip and figuring out how to put it on the JDM bumper. It's taking a while though since my body shop guy isn't too thrilled about it. haha. I think I'm gonna hunt down Brandon (Blackrain) and see how he did it.

 

He had the real JDM OEM lip.

 

He didn't actually. I talked to Samson @ Revision Audio and he fabricated the US one to the JDM bumper.

 

Wow, he lied to us then, because when he posted his car on here I asked how he did his lip and he was like he didn't he had the real JDM one. And for those who are wondering how to do the lip it shouldn't be too hard, you gotta cut into ur bumper though, just letting u know, I'm about to tackle this lip problem myself.

 

i never seen those sidemarkers before any more pics? yea and for the lip you guys could make cuts in the jdm bumper and insert the the usdm lip and screw the bracket from the inside in, but its still longer at both ends so there will be a gap
another member with a white acura tl i think cut the ends and did something i forget his name

 

its not just the sides...when i put mine on...the whole lip didnt match up kuz it was too wide...

 

Damn, you have any pics of it? haha I like how this teaser thread is turning into a "how to mold usdm lip on to JDM bumper" thread.

 

yea, i kinda like the 2 piece look better, but mold makes it look clean. right now im pretty low (a bit higher then u) and my WW lip is cracking.

im probably going to raise the car, cause i dont want anything happening to the lip haha.

yea try to find out, idk if its like molding/cuting i rather just get the fins cut off my WW and try it that way. but first ima try to tackle this myself

yea i think its gonna turn in it haha, but atleast it would be help for any other future members that get the JDM bumper.
cause i cant find any help, all treads jus say you need to cut/mold

 

Haha. I know, seriously... how bout the first person to figure it out post pics to save the rest of us a headache.

 

and for the fenders/side markers i dont have any pics, cause i dropped all the stuff off at the body shop right after i got. there not the true JDM one's. i didnt like the orange markers that pop out.

haha forreal, but ima be working on this project with my uncle at his bodyshop. so hopefully he's cool with molding/cutting
(he doesnt know how much work it is to get the lip on yet)

so ill try to take as many pics as i can, when ever im there.

 

when you match the lip from the middle the end of the lip on both side are longer then the bumper... one side is longer then the other i did it like that and i didnt cut the ends i got a custom made plastic piece or cube shape and i put it in the gap and screwed it so you can't see the gap at the ends

i also have the jdm front lip but i find the usdm more better the jdm front lip i got seems like abs plastic and is cracked so i didnt bother putting it on for now

 

ill post a pic soon

 

^ yea post pics. did it look out of place when you look at the wheels?

 

it looks alright i only did it like that cause i was slammed and if i molded it would have cracked i was thinking of cutting the ends but for now its ok like that
ill post pics soon

 

mind i ask how much you got all that for?

i actually have all those exact parts for sale as well..for cheap

 

i sold mine for $400...bumper, antenna, bumper support, fogs,...it was in mint condition...repaired all the rock chips...primed...and painted

 

^ actually thats what i bought it for too, but i also had a hood and new fenders with it; cause i got into a small front end collision. so i just ended doing this conversion

 

OMMGG.. damn, I don't even want to say how much I got mine for. Def wasn't for $400. lol

 

lol i sold mine for $400 kuz i included all the rock chip repairs, prep, and paint

i got mine for muuuuch less

 

I spent an arm and a leg for mine. Ordered it brand new from Japan. Bumper (came painted) $900, fogs $400. :/

 

damnn man, u hella crazy haha, but ur cars gonna look sick!!

 

Just as crazy as yours. lol. It's impossible to find used JDM inspire parts over here. Gotta buy brand new. Guess that's one of the downside of living on a rock in the middle of the pacific.

 

BTW. Any luck on the front lip situation?

 

^ haha yea i guess, from the pics the car seen looks dope over there tho

umm for the lip no, haven't went to the body shop to see hows it going, been hella busy.

right now there just painting everything, they havent started on the lip yet. right now im looking for a oem lip/ sides, which are hella hard.
