Audm Dc2r Vs Jdm Dc2r, Who's Sexier

just got my car back from the panel beater to change the radiator support got the bonnet guards headlights on already now waiting to get it sprayed

YEah? what was necessary to chage over?

pretty much the complete front panel and get the radiator support changed over from the jdm spec and rewire up the headlights

so including labor how much would a conversion cost? anyone in melb can give me some idea???? on where?

found a set of conversion kit for US$1350...gd?

i want the jap spec r, with the aussie front.

ok..u get JDM then i swap with ya

hahaha deal, just need to find one, and money

lol, thats different.. a fresh idea i guess.
yeah, talk about diggin up an old thread...

why bother paying someone to do the labour required for a J-spec front-end? Do-it-yourself! You'll save so much money, get to know your car maybe a lil more, be proud of what you have achieved and have fun.

Im in the process of gathering bits and pieces for the J-spec/JDM front end swap. (yes there's goin to be another jap front dc2r on our roads but this one's goin to be BLACK). As I am in no rush to do the conversion, im just sitting back waiting for bargains to pop up so that i can snap them up right away .As soon as i have all the parts, i'll be sitting my car in the garage while it gets a new face.

in terms of parts alone, expect to pay anywhere between $900-$1300 (depending on conditions of part whether 2nd hand or new). I dont' think its worth it if you're going to have to pay another $1000 just for labour.

Apparently the JDM radiator/bumper support is the trickiest part of the conversion. Some welding involved and maybe a few holes here and there (not 100% certain, this is just what i have gathered from previous posts and some people who have done the conversion already). Everything else is pretty much 'swap and go'.

Hope this helps/motivates/explains stuff in regards to a JDM front end conversion.

JDM front end is much much better than four circles!!

AUDM front is much better than two rectangles!!

JDM! cos its rare

even tho i kinda like the audm :p

2 year old revival ftw~

AUDMFTW~!!!
