Not much if you look hard, $400 MAX front bar $200 MAX headlights
i think the headlights go around 400ish.. dont know about the front bar
oh wow really, i always thot it cost like 1500 coz i think thats how much a guy i noe paid ... maybe hes exaggerating :S
are you talking about the JDM Front or AUDM lol.
Lol ..... screw that are u serious ? I got mine for under $100 and I would bought another pair for $150 where are you guys looking this is AUDM btwQuote:

AUDM = From pre face to face, its only hieadlights and front bar that need changing, and u can get them dirt cheap. the front bar aint a "type R" front bar, its just a facelift front bar, find that for around 300, headlights find it for 150, front lip around same price as front bar.. the lips the only thing that makes it "type R", should all up cost you under 1k with painting.
the audm will cost a lot more if ur getting parts straight from honda brand new.
oh oks ... um soo ur saying that the front of a 99 dc2 vti-r is exactly the same as a 99 type r except the lip?? the type r front seemed more chunky to me :SQuote:

yes that what im saying, there is no "type R" front bar, its just a 98+ honda integra front bar, all GSi VTiR Type R from 98 have the same front bar. the type R just has the lip.
wtf blackk that EK9 front bar+lip, or either EJ8 front bar with EK9 lip.
jdm integra is a different front end. just look up jdm dc2r you wil get the idea
its the jap version, JDM front is the one with the rectangular headlights as to the auspec having the round headlights.Quote:

LOL that makes sense now... ure talkin about an integra. haha
i made an assumption that u were talkin about an ek4 even though u got a dc2 on ur dp.
haha my bad just ignore everything i said.
im in the middle of one man so far ive got the facelift front bar+dc2r lip, headlight and indicators, thats all i need for the FACELIFT, im also doing an ASSLIFT lol so im now looking for a +98 rear bar, so far ive burnt about 450 bux? just need to look out there man! and paint shouldnt be a problem, esp in our area, theres plenty of workshops in blacktown, if you need any help man just pm me ive been on this path for a while now haha! good luck!
no difference between +98 GSi and Vti-R with DC2R models regarding exterior, the DC2R just has a Lip and a sexy badge!
i have a feeling he was talking about the jdm front from the start, looking at his profile pic, but yeah if you want a jdm front you gotta get all the parts which cost around 1.5k and weld on a new radiator support (Labour $$$ ) then your all sweet i guess oh and wait if you want to get it painted as well ($$$$) so yeah..
Your dc2 looks pretty sweet dude, I remember some guy doing a full conversion for $1500 with painting not sure about it but goodluck with the conversion!
The facelift audm front also has updated indicators to the pre-facelift - they'll set you back about 70-100 off ebay.
Your mate probably paid 1.5K plus paint & labour probably.
Front bar - $400
Front Lights - $200
Indicators - $150
Paint - $300?
Labour - $200?
So your mate got a good deal :D
Dont forget the front lip - expect to pay up to 200 for that, pending where you get it from and its condition.Quote:

You'd only be paying for painting.
check out "honbits" in smithfield for any parts that you may be looking for....if not i'll be more than happy to help lookout for any!
indicators can bought from JDMyard, from yonas! look up "EG5" he has the goods! for affordable prices too! :D
