JDM Front & Insurance

**89lude** · 09-05-2010 01:18 PM

can we get insurance to cover ppl we crash into? i think its 3rd party or whatever.

Yes you can get 3rd party.

You can probably get full comp, just expect to have a very confused person on the other line or they will mark up the premium.

Guys keep in mind, JDM Front conversion is like adding a body kit to your car
Except you have to spot weld the radiator support on, which is technically chassis tampering.

No insurance company will cover this, as far as I know.

thanks for everyones input

looks like JDM front isnt insurable at this point in time

does anyone know for sure if:
- AUDM reinforcement car can be fitted to JDM rad support?

see a specialist insurer such as Shannons (depending on your age and what you do with the car) or Just Car... expect a big bill

they are difficult to insure because insurance companies dont shop on Ozhonda... ie. the parts are difficult to come by

yes u can insure it and yes you can fit an aus spec dc2r reinforcement bar on with abit of custom work. look up on team-integra or hondatech for a diy. I got a quote for full comp for my JDM DC2R and it was like 1.4k with everything on it and that was justcars. And yes the guy knew what a JDM dc2r was. I am assuming that if you get into any sort of front end accident then your car is considered a write off.

so you have to tell them that you have a jdm front on it and they'll cover you just mark up the prices?

**1900-hustler** · 12-05-2010 10:03 AM

It will be considered a modification as mentioned above..

They will be charging you a higher premium because of this modification

Yes you will be covered so long as you advise them

also interested! any one from NSW that is currently insured/notified their insurance company of their jdm front ?

Lol g-stick sounds about right there, if you were to get into any accident, i would imagine the panel beaters would have a hell of a time trying to find a jdm front to replace it.
