    Default The new front I know needs paint

    Here is my new JDM Sir-G front just finished putting everything on. I am waiting to get the cash to buy the paint and have it painted to match the rest.



    FROM THIS TO THIS

    Not trying to hate but it looks like an old Accord. I like the old font end much better. Atleast it will be different.

    Does like kind of 94-97 accord-like, you def need the black housing headlights to set it off.

    I like the frontend cuz it's different (then most DC conversion). I say rock it like that (no lip and sir-g headlights). Just buff your headlight out with toothpaste and it will remove the yellowing off of them!

    Hey frontend looks great, just needs some paint. Hands down jdm looks better than usdm. I'm gonna eventually do it to my teg but go for the type r front.
    Again looks good, JDM's the best

    front looks good man, but either bake those headlights or go get the black housing ITRs, and also a lip. Not trying to hate but it does look like a accord or a DA integra.

    Sold the green wheels to dz.nutz and bought the gold ones. Thanks to all for the compliments. As for the yellowed light i have sent it back to get a good one that one was broke on the bottom and got moisture inside. I plan on painting the housing gunmetal like the Integra Type RX lights. This will hopefully set it apart from even the JDM ITR squad. I also plan on doing the lip as well the front just did not have one on it when I bought it that is coming though definitely. Thanks again guys

    It's just the close up wide angle shot that makes it look like an accord, needs to be a lil lower and farther back and will look fine

    looking nice...when I put my old jdm front on my old teg, I didn't have it painted for a few months...but it makes a world of difference when painted. Did you put it on yourself?

    I plan on having it painted very soon. I did the install myself at my work. boostdb16 is going to do the painting as soon as I get the cash to pay for everything. I also plan on having a lip on it ASAP as well as the gunmetal housings. Thanks again for the input. Hey alfredo was that you I passed in the Red EM1 this is Josh I used to have that white EG hatch boosted in woodstock that stopped by your work and talked to you for a bit. Anyway hit me up.

    I can't remember if it's the itr or just 98 spec, but the projectors for the low beams are different on them along with black housings. They are oem hid's in those models.

    I just painted the housings black. I plan in the future to buy the oem hid black housing lights but for now I painted the housings and I already have the 8000K HIDS in them.
